Dyslexia

[luvlydECMOrations]

My Ds2 (7) is really struggling at school. He really finds reading and writing hard and will avoid it completely if he can. He gets really stressed and then angry over homework or any school performance of any kind. Noone has mentioned dyslexia and I have no experience of it but he seems really unhappy and I am wondering who, if anyone, I should ask if he could possibly be dyslexic. Any suggestions?

DS 2 i sbeing monitored fo dyslexia. Ask his teacher if he can be referred to he SENCO for an assessment

Look at 'Should I have my child assessed?'

for your son. Not all SENCOs are qualified to assess dyslexia. Dyslexia Action are very good. They charge about £400 for a private assessment though.
