Scotopic Son   Message List

Hey everyone! I'm a new member, and am so thankful I found this
group. My nine year old son has Irlens Syndrome, we found out when
he
started second grade. I received no help from the school, and because
of that, I home schooled him the rest of that year. Then at the
beginning of third grade we had him screened for Dyslexia and
Dysgraphia. We found out that he is dyslexic (Visual and Auditory)
and
moderately dysgraphic. He uses his overlays in school, and his
teacher was really good with him this past year, but I am worried
about this coming school year. If anyone has any advice on anything,
please feel free to email me on or off line. My biggest problem is
remembering he does not see things the same as everyone else, then I
feel guilty because I have made him do something that he might not be
able to.

You need to get your son's needs documented and into an IEP or 504 plan so the help will follow him year to year. ... From: "hopefordyslexia"...

Hi Kelsey, One thing that has helped me (but I am an adult) is to explain to people that one of your son's Irlens Syndrome is like being blind. I can't see...
