yeah i agree i told them when my daughter was in reception class i thought she was dyslexic as she was showing early signs(hubby is dyslexic) They didnt listen, when she was 8 they sent her to educational psycologists who did diagnoss(spelling) her as dyslexic but they still didnt do much for her untill 6 months before leaving primary school then they statemented her.She technically lost all her primary school years and i feel very grieved as they could have done more earlier

It is a long and frustrating process. It is not helped by a whole generation of educational psychologists who don't like 'labels'. I am actually an experienced and highly skilled learning support teacher. In spite of this it has taking me years of fighting to get an official diagnosis for my daughter. It was only a new additional support for learning act coming into force in Scotland in November that gave me the power to demand the tesing be done. I knew myself she was, I had done all the testing with collegues of mine.
