I am reaching out for some help, I had my son retested to see if he had made any progress since his official dyslexic diagnosis two years ago, I don't have the report in hand yet, but immediately following the testing the assessor from the local dyslexic centre, said to me...' this child is not a slow learner (I never said that he was) he is using strategies to get out of doing his work, he is lazy, you need to be more disciplined with him, if he says he can't do it, tell him he has to start over, if he wants to play, tell him he is not going to until he finishes his work, tell him you have all night, if it takes that long', she then added he is too nervous and anxious when he has to do his school work, and I need to get him out of that. Seems as though I am damn if I do and damn if I don't. In a nutshell, she says without a doubt he is dyslexic, but she made me feel as though I was responsible for where he is now, because I have allowed him to trick me into believing he can't do the work. Did I create this problem? did I teach him this behaviour? is this my fault, have I create this child's struggles with school work. My heart is broken if I did this to my son, the scary part is, if I did, I did it unconciously, there is nothing worst than unconcious incompetence, he is 11 yrs old, we have been struggling 5 yrs now, how do I undo what she is calling learnt behaviour. I would hate to think I did this to my child. Advice please, I don't know the next step to take!!!!
