Testing for dyslexia
Hi,
My sons school has asked me to have him tested for dyslexia. They have referred me to Dubai Community Helath Centre and I am waiting for an appointment with the occupational therapist.
My questions are would you recommend DCHC for the testing and is an occupational therapist best suited to diagnose dyslexia or should I be looking for a different qualification?
Over a number of years various teachers have insisted on speech assessments and now testing for dyslexia. My son is doing well at school and is a bright boy but does have difficulty with spelling, swapping letters and turning them around, and translating sounds to writing and there have been some major behavioral issues so there is something going on. At his age, it is not impacting too much on school work just yet.
The teacher has mentioned to me that she has very little experience of dyslexia and there is no support at school for this issue below year 5. Do you think I should go down the route of testing for dyslexia or is there something else I should be doing / someone else I should be seeing?
Thanks
