I know some Mnetters are qualified in dyslexia teaching or have older children coping with dyslexia so hoping for some help here. dd2 is 7 (Yr 3) and has moderate-severe dyslexia and dyscalculia. There is no support 1:1 available for her in school. We have worked really hard on her reading which has improved a lot but her writing/spelling is appalling. She cannot write anything that makes sense and it is impacting on all her schoolwork. Having met with the Head and her teacher we are wondering if she should use a laptop and spellchecker for all her written work or is she to young to become dependent on a computer? Any experiences /advice gratefully received -thanks
(have to go to school now but will check back later)
