A Good Blog for Parents on Dyslexia

Stephanie M. Gordon has restarted her blog, Dyslexia Services. 

Introducing her "client" (I believe he is imaginary):

As you begin this journey with me, you will meet Jay, an 8 and a half year old entering the fourth grade. You will learn about Jay's strengths and weaknesses in visual, auditory, and kinesthetic/motor memories and perception which affect his language learning. My diagnostic evaluation will expose you to the testing that was done, analyze his learning problems, and offer recommendations. After the completion of Jay's diagnostic evaluation--which is lengthy--I will present unusual discoveries of visual photographic memory in other students. Then my plan is to "show and tell" you how to reach a student's unique learning style.

Part one--signs of dyslexia and Jay's exhibition of same
Part two--specific tests and how Jay performed
Part three--tests of perception and memory, and how Jay performed

She is going to continue with a complete test battery and evaluation.  Thank you, Ms. Gordon!  Understanding the testing process will help a great many parents.
