DS1 dx with dyslexia -- BTDT?
Hi all
DS1 is 8 and in Monetssori school. He has done very well but recently the teachers have noticed significant issues with spelling. We had him evaluated at a neuropsych and here are the results. Appreciate any insight or guidance. TIA

Visual spacial 87% (high average) with a pri score of 117
Exec function whisk wmi score of 99 (47%)
Working memory
Processing speed score 106 (66%)
Elision 50%
Rapid naming of numbers and words 33%
Reading out loud 63%

Nonsense words, timed 12%
Reading comprehension 87%
Sight words 25% (early second grade level)
Spelling (encoding) 21%
Math (word problems) 99%
Calculation 73% (DS1 skipped a bunch of problems, and then did some harder ones. This may not reflect his skill as much as anxiety of getting a problem wrong, mom commentary here)
Neuropsych noted that DS1 had some anxiety. He has some tics ...
