Question: Homeschooling for dyslexia and gifted children?
I have b/g twins that are in 7th grade and not getting the help they need in their public school. One is dyslexic and the other is in the gifted class. Both are very intelligent. However the school doesn't know how to deal with either one. I have another child that does fine in the public school. My son is slowly getting left behind due to the dyslexia and my daughter is bored and coming down in grades due to not being challenged. How do you suggest I homeschool the two very different children. And what do you suggest on curriculum?
Answer: Take BOTH to the pediatrician. For the dyslexic, get referrals for treatment for that type of problem, maybe a learning center that will help him overcome his dyslexia and help him learn how to work with it. For the other one, get referrals for testing and evaluation for placement into a Montessori program or gifted school. Once the one child overcomes his dyslexia, he may even show the aptitude to be placed in a gifted program as well. If the pediatrician won't assist with this, then get another pediatrician. My daughter's pediatrician referred her to a therapist that specialized in evaluation and testing for Montessori placements.
