hello all. my ds who is 8, has finally had his assessment and we have been told he is definately dyslexic. i have been aware of his problems since he was in nursery so i am not surprised. im more relieved than anything.
my main concern is that when i asked what i could do to help at home, their answer was to just encourage him and to make sure we dont call him thick. tbh i was hoping for some more practical advise! i mean, as if i would ever call my darling boy thick!
is there any good programmes that i could buy for us to do together at home? anyone got any experience they could share. what has worked for you?
i should add that ds is 8+9yrs and has a reading and writing ages of 6+1 yrs and he also has below average sequential memory. i am waiting for the ed psyc. report to be sent to me but they were they main issues. everything else they tested was average or just above.
any advice is gratefully recieved and am off to google like mad!
xx
