Dyslexia refers to any reading difficulty not associated with obvious problems (such as bad eyesight). Dyslexias include the inability to name letters, to read words or sentences, or to recognize words directly even though they can be sounded out. Dyslexia is not limited to reversing the order of letters in reading or writing; it may, for instance, include unexpected...

Hi there, there are alot of good sites out there in regards to this disorder. One is www.dyslexia-adults.com There are alot of different topics there that may be helpfull. Dont let this discourage your future dreams for your son. Its is stressfull but a person can accomplish anything when they want it bad enough. I grew up being put down all the time at home and at school, always knew something was different but really figured it out when I started Massotherapy school. Very tough in Ohio!!!!! But all things are possible if you believe!!!! Your in my thoughts and prayers!!!!!

I found out when I was 21 years old. I always knew something wasn't right I wish I had known when I was younger. IF he wents to and has proof of his Dyslexia he can get help from school if he wants too. I got books on tape and extra time on tests. Someone to came and take notes if I wanted. He would have to go into the Disablity office, so if I wasn't in college I wouldn't have wanted to get labeled. Something that is easy is called a Franklin, it cost about $300 dollars but it is will worth it. It reads words to you out loud. It will give you words that it thinks will match your spelling. Also don't worry if he wants to he can do anything. I know you have heard that but I graduated college and I can only read at a fifth grade reading level. There are a lot of things he can do, I have heard that children's hosipital can help up to fourth grade that was for me he might be different. I have more ideas if you need some just let me know.

I am from MI-I knew my husband was dyslexic and so I figured that both my children would need tested. I contacted the school system and had them both tested. My son was dyslexic in that he could not retain anything he read and anything he heard verbally he needed to hear several times before retaining it. The school system then allowed him to remain in main stream classes but bring a tape recorder to class. He also received free instruction from the specail ed teacher after school hours.

If you can afford it, Sylvania Learning Center is excellant with teaching dyslexic children how to learn given their particular disability
