Dyslexia in school children not diagnosed soon enough
|
|
|
Dyslexia tests and treatment available
Do people think that all schools should screen children for Dyslexia? It is a growing problem and these children are not being helped in the correct way to give them a chance at life.

In my opinion schools are not doing enough to identify children with Dyslexia! It took me a long time to get my parents to notice, and was even harder to get my school and college to notice too.

| 12-5-2008 | I love the water lawnmower, what a very apt and insightful description. These children really are very special, they see things and can then give them extremely appropriate and relevant names, but in a very simple way. To give an example, when we mated our dog with a neighbouring husky mal cross, ...more | Nikki |
| 11-5-2008 | Yep, its great. And we live 30 mins from the lake district, bonus! ! Beach was good, Even tho my son tried to chase a jet ski ! ! Or a 'water lawnmower' as he calls them, I told them they're there to cut the sea weed! ! Hee, hee. Am having a lazy day today, I've sent hubby off to the...more | Digsy |
| 11-5-2008 | Digsy, you are a tormentor ! Living slap bang in the middle of England, we could not be further away from the sea! It is so hot, I am dripping, although loving the gorgeous weather of course!
I couldn't believe it when I read what I had wrote !! Lol !! I mean "written" !! I pri...more | Nikki |
| 11-5-2008 | Well said, and never were truer words spoken. The earlier problems are diagnosed, the earlier they can be if not fixed, then helped. In the long wrong, this will save the LEAs money, but the stupid ignorant people don't see it this way of course. | Nikki |
| 11-5-2008 | P.S. I'm only 13. I am very concerned about this and am trying to take action. I hope you all will do the same.

| 11-5-2008 | I think that schools and learning centers should step up to the plate to diagnose Dyslexia before the child enters grade school. If a child has Dyslexia or some other form of a learning disability, but they don't know it until later in schooling years, then that child could end being made fun of...more | Concerned Kid |
| 10-5-2008 | Ah, my brother does that! He hates bad grammer and i'm always getting text messages sent twice, he reckons 'standards have to be maintained'. My spelling and grammer are awful but hey ho I've seen worse! We've been on the beach all day, ooh I love living on the coast! | Digsy |
| 10-5-2008 | "They didn't even adhere to the Statement they had wrote !!" It should be "written" not wrote !! Sorry !! | Nikki |
| 01-5-2008 | All you can do Digsy is take one day at a time. With such a supportive LEA, you're quids in. With us, we were constantly battling our LEA. They didn't even adhere to the Statement that they wrote !! So it was back to yet another SEN Tribunal to force them to adhere to the Code of Practic...more | Nikki |
| 29-4-2008 | Thanks for that. And I know which school I want my daughter to attend, my problem is, with the academy being built she may not get in! The LEA are quite good here, we have a review every 3months or so to oversee how shes doing, targets, progress and any worries etc and I am aware she has an excellen...more | Digsy |
| 29-4-2008 | This is exactly what happened with our daughter Digsey. We moved her from a fee paying day school where she was being bullied to a small local school in our next door village when she was 8. She repeated Year 6 so that she was nearly 13 by the time she moved up to the secondary school, but it was ...more | Nikki |
| 29-4-2008 | The problem is its a very small school and they have there full capacity of special needs kids. So many who need this kind of setting are badly let down. Its secondry school im dreading, they're closing 3local schools and building an academy. So what happens to our kids? They couldnt cope! Their...more | Digsy |
