I am going to stay on them. I'm just not that good with words myself. The teacher is a really nice young women and I know she does try but she does get frustrated as do I. But that's why I wanted a professional to help him and stand at his level.

It sounds like his teacher cannot give him everything he needs. If extra help is available, he should get it.
Stay strong Jessica!

You've gotten really sound advice Jessica. Ricky has ADD and the school wanted to do this and that, but I took him to a Dr. that specializes in this. The school would have been in charge and I didn't want that. Stay positive and stay strong.

Sounds like good advice all the way around. My daughter in law is a special ed teacher and she so loves all of her kids. but about a month ago she had to call the sheriff on one 12 year old he started hitting her. Hope things get better soon for you and your son.

They finally tested my son for dyslexia and said he does not qualifies for dyslexia services.
GORT 4 (Gray Oral Reading Tests)- he score 8% out of 13(the standard score) Phonological Awareness- he score 21% out of 88 Phonological Memory- he score 73% out of 109 Rapid Naming- he score 35% out of 94 Sight Words- he score 29% out of 92 Phonemic Decoding- he score 42% out of 97 I don't really know what this means but from what I can see he score really low. I am fighting with my insurance to see how much they can cover to test him outside. Also, isn't a psychologist suppose to be doing the testing? It was a Instructional Specialist who tested him. Is this right? I just don't know what my next step should be

I don't know what it means either, Jessica, but the scores do seem really low. Do you know a teacher who could look at the scores? I think there is a learning problem, but maybe not dyslexia. There are many many types of learning disabilities, and dyslexia is only one of them. Keep working to find the solution.

Yes....Jessica...like Gayle suggested, keep working to find the solution. So sorry you and your son are going through this. You may also ask your physician (if you trust his opinion) if he could recommend someone to help lead you in the right direction. I wish I could help in someway, but don't know how.
