Ah, life is grand....
We haven't had Luther tested for Dyslexia. It would cost $1200 and *if* we were to spend that much I'd rather have him work with a Davis Dyslexia cure person (whatever they are called!). So we are plugging along and slowly he is making progress. We switched his Math curriculum to RightStart, and we started that today. It went well and he likes that there aren't very many worksheets ( I suspect he has dysgraphia too).
Howard has lost lots more teeth-it's a wonder he can eat! His toothless grin sure is cute though. I am beginning to suspect he has dyslexia too however and I am convinced Kate does. *SIGH*
Kate has learned that it is a bad idea to put clay into her ear. When we went to the doctor, she had to have her ear irrigated. It took two nurses and me holding her down for the doctor to be able to get the clay out. I don't think she'll do that again.
I go to the doctor to see if I can get medication for my ADD tomorrow. I am hoping it helps me focus and be more able to complete tasks. it would be nice to not loose everything, too. I really think that my whole family would benefit from a mom who can concentrate! I also finally found the cord for my Palm so I could charge the battery. I think that may help too, assuming I don't loose it again.

I have a nephew with dyslexia and his Mom is always trying to find things to help him. He's a very smart kid, just has some issues. Good luck.

You probably already know this, but...Handwriting without Tears has been very helpful for my two Aspies who have some dysgraphia. Just take it slowly and one step at a time.

Aug. 21, 2007 - Just stumbled on your blog
Posted by Starlady
from another AZ blogger I stumbled on today. :)
Your post, which was awhile ago, has me intrigued. I suspect my dd has some type of processing disorder(s). At the last convention there was a Davis booth, but anytime I went there to talk w/ her, there was someone else having a heart to heart and looking like they were ready to burst into tears. :( So, I never did have a chance to find out about the program.
Where were you looking to have your dc tested? Have you heard good things about the Davis Corrector?
Also, your ADD comment struck me as well. Have you ever tried the Feingold diet? I'll try to link, http://www.feingold.org .
It eliminates all artificial colors, flavors and petroleum based preservatives as well as foods containing high amounts of salycilates.
We use it for Aspie reasons, which is does help, but it was originally designed for ADD/ADHD people. I've heard great success stories for those w/ ADHD kids. I just shared this info w/ someone on my dd's soccer team last spring for her son. She emailed me about a month later thanking me for telling her about Feingold. Her son is a new person. :)
Sorry for rambling and sounding like a commercial. I just know how it's helped our family and always want to share w/ others. :)
