My daughter who is now 19 years old, has dyslexia. I'm not talking just a minor little blip on the radar where she has a few letters she messes up. I'm talking about a kid who would listen to her preschool teacher read a story, have it memorized and act like she was reading it back so she wasn't embarrassed when other kids found out she couldn't even point out the letter A or write her own name. She was put in resource class when she was in kindergarten. She was there with kids who were mentally retarded, had major behavior problems, ADD/ADHD etc. She made them all her friends as well as making many friends in the regular class room. She was held back in third grade which about ripped my heart out. She struggled for every good grade she got but really never made a big deal about it. I did of course...every paper on the fridge, every report card pinned on the bulletin board. When she seemed quiet and like something was wrong i would panic just like you are. But I learned as time went on that when she needed me she would let me know, I just kept reminding her that I was always there! She graduated in May from highschool and is now in college to become a teacher for kids with learning disabilities. She still struggles for every good grade! She works harder then most kids have to work just to read through one assignment. But she has made it and I am so proud of her. Keep holding on...kids are much stronger then we think!

She's 14 months old. I am so sorry to hear that you have been dealing with this for so long. I cried as I read every post. I would really love to chat with you privately. I could not find any contact info for you so I will give you mine. My email address is kiradesmond@rocketmail.com. I read that you were looking for support so I really hope to hear from you because I could use some support too. I will be praying for you and your daughter.
