I believe that my eldest daughter has dyslexia...

Tweet

She's only 6 years old, but she has nearly all the symptoms, according to the information I have and have been able to find since we started to suspect. All the things dyslexic children tend to be delayed in, she is. All the things dyslexic children tend to excel at, she has. And, so forth. Surprisingly, as common as dyslexia seemingly is, I haven't been able to find very many local resources, or too many people, even in the public school's special needs people, who know too much about it or what to do in order to help her. We've known for a while now that she's had an issue processing language and sequences (like, alphabetical order, or counting from 1-50 without mixing up numbers). But, none of the doctors we've been to have been able to help much, other then to rule out particular various diseases. And the places in California that are supposed to be able to help me, quite frankly, don't seem all together competent. And, so, I would love to hear about any experiences you've had with people, particularly children, who have dyslexia. I'd also like to hear about, and look over, any resources you might know of; methods for teaching language arts and math for dyslexic children, testing centers in southern California that specialize in dyslexia, etc.
