Seeking Dyslexia Support Group in Irving Area

Hi J.. I have never joined a support group but I wanted to pass on some ecouragement. As a language teacher you know all about dyslexia I'm sure but I wanted to share with you what has happened with my 16 yr. old daughter. I, like you, knew early that something was wrong. I am a voracious reader and read very fast and my daughter just had no interest at all. In fact, homework was a total nightmare. We ran the gamut from crying to the "I'm just stupid" comments. After throwing a fit, the school finally tested her in the second grade and of course she was diagnosed with dyslexia. She repeated that grade and entered resource classes daily. She had the most WONDERFUL resource teacher without whose help we would not have gotten this far. She reminded me constantly that she would adapt for herself and eventually her mind would "catch on." She is now a sophomore and doing so well, so much better than I would have ever imagined all those years ago. She has even reached the honor roll a few times. As time goes on and her classes get harder she does struggle a little more but still does far better than I could have ever hoped for. But, the best part of all is that she enjoys reading and does it for pleasure frequently. Just wanted to share this with you. Good luck with your son. I am sure he will do great!!

Hopefully the school he's in has a great MTA program! Mine was diagnosed with dyxlexia in the 2nd grade and it helped immensly. I, too, am an English teacher, so luckily I can help him edit papers and study for spelling tests (which - poor baby- he's passed only a handful of. But remember, there is spelling check on the computer! This is a useful tool for my son.

My friend child is free of dyslexia by using nutritional product, let me know if you want to learn more.

Hi J.-
I was reading your question and wanted to reply. I am a chiropractor in Irving. I am also doing nutrition response testing in my practice. I have treated a dyslexic boy in my practice. He went from having major difficulty with reading to reading a 70 page book before he goes to bed. He had metals and a virus in the spleen. I removed the metals and the virus he is doing great. You should bring your son by. Our office number is ###-###-####.

Hi J.,

I would like to suggest the DORE program. The DORE program was created for a child with dyslexia and then spread to many other countries. The program does not teach coping skills and it is not tutoring, it focuses on a certain part of the brain which makes it easier for the eyes to focus apporpriately and makes it easier for reading and recall to take place.

Please go to Youtube and search DORE and watch some of the testimonials of children and adults who have finished the program. Then go to www.dore.co.uk to learn more about the program and even answer questions to see if your child will benefit from the program. The program is available in Dallas

Please know that it is common in the dyslexia community to hold to the diagnosis and 'live and cope' with the symptoms. these children are born with special gifts and these gifts will not be reduced by removing the symptoms that cause them to struggle.

I would be happy to answer any questions you have! ###-###-####

I wish you the best!

Take him to Scottish Rite Hospital. There is a treatment center there especially for dyslexia. Won't cost you a dime if he qualifies for treatment.
