So my son has already been tested at our school and has been diagnosed with a learning disability. Our particular school does not believe in dyslexia, and although I feel that should be the defined under the learning disability the refuse to refer to that term. I now have had him tested at the children's hospital learning center and they feel he shows signs of Dyslexia, but that his language/speech seems to be a bit unclear. He does not have a speech issue(articulation) but his vocabulary is low. Has anyone else run into these issues? I sure would love to hear any similar stories. I am still seeking answers. The learning center told me to treat it as dyslexia and the recommendations were the same. So if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck....is it a duck? I too like most of you feel alone in my venture. I know I will have to fight tooth and nail for him to be taught the way he needs to be. I would expect that I will need to go to the school board next. I am in the colorado area so if anyone out there lives in the state and has more information, please..please send it our way.
