DS was diagnosed dyslexic and attended a GS - I have mixed thoughts - he had slow processing issues mostly and school did little to help. He struggled to keep up with the pace in the GS class and teachers just pinned the label "lazy" on him. The experience meant he went from being a happy lad to one with very low self esteem.
I suspect it depends on the child and the school.
This is my fear.
DH and I are still sitting on the fence about a dyslexia diagnosis for our DD tbh. I'm thinking it's more of a processing disorder (auditory) but there are very few professionals who are qualified to give an official diagnosis on that condition. I think we'll need to start with a dyslexia assessment and then take it from there. The last thing I want is for DD to struggle at a grammar school.
Thanks
