My dd is dyslexic and just finishing year 2. She was waaaay behind at the beginning of the year, but has made phenomenal progress this year with fantastic support from her phenomenal teacher! The school have been brilliant, and have also brought in outside help

I was talking to a close friend about some other specialised help dd may ne able to access next year and how to coordinate it with school. I can't remember her exact words, but they were along the lines that dd gets enogj help from the school as it is; like, she had her fair share
In another occasion, when I had been lamenting dds difficulty with reading, she asked if we have books at home...wtf, she knows we do, she's been to our house countless times. But that's not the point ; point is, she thinks dds difficulties are because I don't provide enough reading material??

Both times, I didn't know what to say, so I didn't say anything.

I don't even know really why I'm posting...just wonderong if others come across these attitudes in friends and how to deal with it....and just for a vent

Sorry...I know its not a big deal in the scheme of things

Funny you should say that bia...I was thinking about that tonight, and decided that is the angle I would take in future....just ask directly if she thought her ds's education provision was lacking....and go on to explain that support for kids with SENs doesn't take resources from the others

It makes me Angry
