Click over there and maybe ask her via email more about it? Thank you for commenting, Tesha! That $3,500 is outrageous! I agree it isn't necessary if college isn't in Jadon's plans. My son Peter wants to be a farmer, and I sure wish that were a trade that taught like in colonial times, but apprenticeships aren't very common now it seems. We will be looking into it a great deal more as he matures.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741646073555849828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814114731786461812.post-14522756870844647662014-08-15T15:00:57.566-04:002014-08-15T15:00:57.566-04:00Well I just finished the on line coarse by Mariann...Well I just finished the on line coarse by Marianne Sunderland on dyslexia, it was very informative. I have been educating myself on how to teach Jadon. I also read Dyslexia 101 and Unicorns are for Real. I have to say this is a whole new world to me, yet it is one I have live in my whole life. My father is dyslexic and his brother is profoundly dyslexic. I am sure I was profoundly dyslexic but learned coping mechanisms that really helped me. I still can read something five times and not see the mistakes or dial a number many times then realize that the numbers are backwards. I have read about the testing and how it can help in college which is Awesome! I looked into testing Jadon and we were quoted 3,500 by a few people. We have not decided if we will do it or not. He is in tutoring/ therapy and will be tested by our charter school this fall. Although like you said they do not give a diagnosis. However my husband is a strong believer in the trades and does not believe college is for everyone. He has built a very successful plumbing business without a college education and will be able to teach all of our boys plumbing and how to own a small business. So I am thinking we will be fine to not get an official diagnose. I love these post they are helpful for me! Please keep sharing anything you learn:)! By the way do you know any thing about lexercise?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497636907002853665noreply@blogger.com
