Following an ed psych assessment DS has been diagnosed with severe dyslexia (1.6) with very slow processing skills.
I am concerned (and it was in the report) that we now have other issues - low self esteem, lacking in self confidence, low perseverance, etc. that I am wondering what chance we have of getting him into a private dyslexic school with a statement paid for by the LEA.
I don't think that extra attention from a TA with a statement at his school will help and that we need concentrated specialist help.
We are thinking - perhaps rather drastically, but hopefully those who have been in a similar situation will understand - about selling up and moving areas to pay for it ourselves but if we have a chance of succeeding with the Statementing process, we would stick that out.
So... my - rather nosey! - question is for those that do have a child at a dyslexic school - how severe is your child's dyslexia and who is paying?!
