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.
