I have a son at home who is 16, mentally gifted but extremely dyslexic. He has been tried on any number of curriculum, including three years of a phonics-based program administered through a university (1 hour, 5 x weekly). We are still struggling. Money is a problem - he appears unable to differentiate vowel sounds, and the recommended program for this type of problem (I believe CAPD) is Lindamood-Bell. Only the local school district has the funds for it, and it takes due process. There is no time left. Why have I waited so long? I have another child who is BP,PDD-NOS, who was forced back into the school system, and I have been fighting all of these years to get accommodations for her. Now that she is finished (!), I have a little more time to use for my son.
HELP!!!!! any suggestions would be greatfully appreciated.
