Patient Comments: Dyslexia - Personal Experience

Do you or your child have dyslexia? Please describe what it's like and how you cope.

Comment from: JMSM, 7-12 Male (Caregiver) Published: March 14

My grandson was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was about 6 years old. He has been failing in school, acts out, and behaves as if he doesn't care about anything until recently. My daughter has been told by his teachers that his doctor is the one who should test him, but the doctor said it is his teacher that does the testing. What are we to do to help him?
