Hi, my son is 7 and has a diagnosis of DLD. He has always struggled with reading and spellings since beginning school. From working with him at home I think he possibly could also have dyslexia. He struggles to sound out words, gets mixed up when writing sentences, leaves out works or half sentence when writing them out. Copies spellings totally wrong when writing them out. He does well in Friday tests as we revise them so much during the week. By the following week it's like starting all over again as he won't remember them. With math he still has to check he's writing numbers correct way around though unsterstands the concept of counting etc. Doesn't understand before or after however
I know at minute there's not much I can do but wondering who I need to go to or get him referred to. We are waiting for a new speech assessment before lockdown happened.
