My DS had an screnning at school recently and the results show him as a borderline dyslecxi.
Does any of you have experience with borderline dyslexia?

I'd get a second opinion if I were you. I think conditions like dyslexia and ADD are overdiagnosed. Maybe your son was just not in the mood to read or work with the doctor that day that he was there. Especially if it is borderline...better than subjecting your son to therapy and treatment, probably best to get a proper diagnosis and understanding first. Has he ever shown any other signs of having problems reading? He was assesed at school (it has a Dyslexy unit) He is doing very well at reading and maths, its just his writing.....
