JudoMom Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Where would we go if we decided we wanted to rule out/rule in stealth dyslexia as an issue in one of our sons? His struggles fit many of the criteria, however he reads things like Homer & Sophocles & Aristotle without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I think it depends on what symptoms you are seeing. IIRC, there are some symptoms of "stealth dyslexia" (I'm vaguely recalling the Eides here as the term is vague) that may be vision issues or OT issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 How much do you want to pay? And who is paying it? If your budget is $0, you're going to the ps for evals. If you're self-pay, you can call anyone you want. In that case, like wapiti, I'd be suggesting psych and vision evals. You can get to Learning Ally to get a list of people in your area. You can also get testing sometimes through a dyslexia school or tutor or service like Scottish Rite, but that testing will be incomplete. Until you get IQ testing, they don't really have anything to compare achievement against. Stealth dyslexia is a controversial thing, and really it's not in the DSM. You just have SLD reading. That's not saying nothing is going on, just that it might get explained a different way from what you anticipate. Any psych who can run a WISC, CTOPP, and an executive function survey can sort it out for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
