So we had it confirmed that Meilin does indeed have Dyslexia. Mom and Meilin spent over two hours with a professional dyslexia tester doing tests to find out. We are so glad that we found out as early as we did. Even though she is behind we caught it soon enough to get her caught back up quickly. Her type of dyslexia is an auditory processing disorder. She has a difficult time processing written and oral information. We have invested in a tutoring program that helps dyslexia children learn to read and we bagan teaching her at home . Surprisngly enough the schools don't know and aren't trained on how to teach kids with dyslexia. So it is up to the families to help their own kids learn. We started the program two weeks ago with Meilin and during the testing today the area where we have been tutoring her on her scores were way high! The tester said that that was a wonderful sign that what we were doing was working and that we are on the right path to finally helping her learn to read. Meilin is such a trooper! We have been so proud of how she has tried and tried and never given up even though things have been very hard for her. She is amazing! You go girl!!!!
