My son has been struggling in school and in working with him I think he may have some qualities consistent with dyslexia. I know I cannot make that diagnosis but I feel it warrants further investigation.
I have read quite a bit online and I find many people selling very expensive programs and services. They purport to be the best qualified to diagnosis dyslexia. They are part of groups like Barton and others which really do seem like good programs. But they are not licensed psychologists.
A licensed psychologist in our area can do an assessment and would be able to test for dyslexia as well as other potential causes, like ADD. This too costs thousands. The first group will say that a psychologist may not deal enough with dyslexia to be optimal.
