I think many parents would want to know what worked for your son. Please feel free to describe what worked by (a) commenting on one or several posts, or (b) writing a post of your own and submitting it to me at howard@reading2008.com. I'll probably edit it and send it back to you for approval. If you follow our blog, you might notice that we occasionally have guest posts (and we would like more). I hope my comments help. Thanks for your comment.

One of the first things a diagnostician should do is eliminate probable and then possible physical causes. That's one reason an interdisciplinary model--which is rare in schools--is so important. Related to your experience (but not allergies) are three important areas that are usually overlooked: nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Again, thank you. -- H Thank you Linda.

I worked with him constantly and it was working he was learning to read. I came up with my own ways and teachers laughed at me but it worked. But he also had a food alergy. Yes I know it doesn't seem like it is connected but a food alergy can be a cerebral alergy. Doesn't show up in skin tests and is very hard to figure out. My son's was to citrus. Any form plus citric acid which is used as a mold inhibitor in most foods. When he would have a glass of orange juice he would go hyper and he would be dyslixic. Get the juice out of his system and the reading was normal. He is now an english teacher in a different country and loving it. But he still cannot have any citrus or he is dyslexic until it leaves his system. So before you panic try finding out if your child has an alergy that is causing the problem. If it is change the diet to avoid the symptoms.
