If it does turn out to be that, there are so many good resources. Thanks for letting us know how things are going! -------------------- Tracy, George and Daniel (11/25/02)

My DH is dyslexic and they didn't find out till he was alot older so he still struggles. Hopefully finding out sooner will be an advantage for your son. Keep us posted! -------------------- ~~Jennifer~~ Wife to Jason, Mom to Madeline, Megan, Brianna, Alyssa, Kate, and our babies in heaven-Benjamin, 8/13/04, and David, 8/01/07 Jen's Blog

I have heard that there are lots of things that they can do to help kids with dyslexia. They have made so many advances in this area... I watched a show on Discovery Health about dyslexia not too long ago. Children that are diagnosed early go on to excel in school. Let us know how it goes. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

Once diagnosed they got a host of answers and ways to work with him and they saw so much improvement. I hope you get more answers soon!
