• Once you know that your child is dyslexic,
  depending on the severity of the disorder, your
  next logical step should be finding schools for
  dyslexia in your area. The obvious first place to
  check is your child's current school to see if
  they have staff that has been trained in
  educating dyslexics. This could be the reading
  specialist or the special education teacher. Be
  sure to ask if they have had specific training in
  this area.
• Some mainstream public schools do not have the
  appropriately trained staff to assist dyslexic
  students and if that is the case with your home
  school, your may want to look for a specialized
  school for dyslexia. This should not be seen as a
  slight to your child or in any way looked down
  upon. On the contrary, the school will have
  instruction that is more suited to the type of
  learning that your child needs. The children in
  this school will be average or above average in
  intelligence.

• Specialized schools for dyslexia can be found in
  one of a few ways. You can ask your child's
  school for assistance in locating an appropriate
  school. In some cases you will be able to keep
  your child at the same school and enroll them in
  specialized education classes. You can also ask
  your pediatrician if they know of any schools for
  dyslexia. If all else fails or if you are more of
  a "do it yourself" person, you can search for and
  find schools on the internet or even consider
  home schooling.

• Dyslexic children can start to realize their
  full potential if taught within a caring, happy
  and structured framework. The children soon
  develop the self-respect, self-reliance and
  self-discipline which they are so desperately
  seeking and needing.
