My daughter is 7 and a half. She shows many of the classic signs of dyslexia. I am a qualified dyslexia specialist, so technically I can diagnose her myself but think its better if someone else who is not personally connected to her does it.
She is home educated btw, so a diagnoses is not as essential as it might be in school.
I have suspected she might be dyslexic for a while, but was delaying anything formal until she was around 8 because of the leap a lot of children make between 7 and 8 years.
I think her self esteem is a little battered. I'm wondering if being able to explain her difficulties would help her.
Thoughts?
