Our son is a sweet kid. As parents, we often heard about his kindness towards others in daycare and preschool.
In elementary school he had difficulties that grew progressively worse. Frustration lead to anger and depression. Almost every night the homework brought tears.
He was capable and insightful; he could understand and talk through problems. But his grades and in-school performance were dismal. As parents, we were completely lost. Standardized testing finally pointed us toward the issue: dyslexia.
