Hi I’m hoping someone can give me some advice. My dd aged 9 has been having problems with reading for years. It really became apparent to me how much she struggles during lockdown. Her spelling is also an issue and she isn’t able to retain learnt words the following day.
I’ve had her privately assessed for visual stress and they have diagnosed Irlens syndrome and a visual field convergence problem. I have paid for new tinted glasses with a prism to help this. One of the recommendations from the assessment was a dyslexia assessment as there can be a strong correlation between the two. My daughters teacher has met with the SENCO who has said that they don’t offer dyslexia screening in Wales as it can be compensated for in class??!
They have given me a contact to pay privately for the assessment. This can’t be right surely? I thought that as another professional had advised an assessment and I have requested one that they at least should complete the screening tool?
