My almost seven year old isn't making the progress I would expect at school although she tries hard.
My mum suspects dyslexia and the symptoms seem to fit eg she can't recite her alphabet perfectly still, mixes up left and right, can't repeat a sequence of 4 short instructions etc
She is not bad enough in class (yet) for the teacher to suggest she needs help - but I would like to get a diagnosis as to whether or not she has dyslexia.
Do I get her screened privately? And if she has a mild to moderate problem will she get support from her school, or will I have to look elsewhere for help?
Any advice appreciated
