I suggest you take your son to a regular eye Dr to see if the results are true or not. The school does not test them like they should. Get a second opinion. \nTake the advice of a mother of 2 sons.

I do also, have since childhood. An eye doctor told me that it is not all that uncommon. He had a word for it that I do not recall. Harmless, and somehow related to the eyes. Great news is, your children can expect to have it also.

If he DOES NOT "see" the letters correctly, that is NOT just dyslexia. It is probably because he also needs visual therapy through an occupational therapist and/or vision specialist. Ask a local OT working with the public schools about who they recommend for the diagnosis and therapy plan (usually an opthamologist, but not every opthamologist has the correct training for this).\n\nhttp://www.vision-therapy.com/About_Vision.htm\n\nhttp://www.memorialhospital.org/OccupationalTherapy.htm\n\nhttp://www.hollywoodvision.com/html/vision_therapy.html\n\nHere are some simple activities for you to do while you are waiting on the diagnosis and therapy plan:\nhttp://www.turningpointtechnology.com/Software/TF/Eye%20Track%20Software.htm\n\nContinue to provide phonics instruction. If you have the proper training for LD phonics remediation, you also know that there is a developmental "click" or "leap" that occurs. The constant exposure to phonics means that he'll suddenly be able to apply it, and show a huge gain in his reading level over only a couple of months, WHEN HE IS READY PHYSIOLOGICALLY.\n\nIf he is having vision issues, teach him the phonics rules through oral recitiation while you do the exercises the OT or vision specialist give you. Don't forget to keep building on his knowledge, starting with "vowel plus consonant is short," all the way up to the three sounds of "s", the five sounds of "ough," etc., even if he's not visually perceiving the letters at that point. Take it slow... the more advanced rules may not be something you hit until next year.\n\nYou should also have him play "catch" with you (start with a soft, larger ball like a kickball), do very simple (preschool) mazes and gradually work up in difficulty (VERY gradually), etc. My guess is that when he attempts a maze, he can't make heads or tails of it right now.

It depends on how far away your seat is from the board and how small you teacher writes.  You could try asking your teacher to sit closer to the board, and you will want to see a doctor or maybe the school nurse to test your eyesight.  If there is a problem, waiting to get it fixed can somtimes make things worse.  If there is a problem, your doctor can prescribe glasses (or contacts).

Doctors can do imaging studies, like CAT scans or MRI's, that show pictures of the brain - if an area of the brain  has been affected by a stroke, it will often show up.   This will be evident on the tests even months later.\n\nIf your son goes to the doctor, and the doctor suspects a stroke, he can request one of these tests.  However, there are lots of reasons your son may be having difficulty with his left eye - many are correctable, so by all means he should go to his doctor to have it checked out.  Also, a visit to the eye doctor may be useful as well.

I'm bi-racial and I'm thankful that my family has accepted me. If they can't accept him for who he is, then they've got problems. I'm sure your son is very bright, and color makes no difference in the world. It should be addressed, or your son may grow up with confidence issues and may think he's inferior. He needs to know that he's just as special as anybody else roaming this planet.

Every child learns in a different way. Some kids are visual learners, some are auditory learners, and others are Kinesthetic learners. Your son sounds as if he may be a kinesthetic learner and likes to do hands on activites rather than boring old paper work. Talk to your child's teacher about how she presents the material. See if he or she can find a way to present written work in a different way that he will not only enjoy but he will also learn from. Good Luck!

Please be aware that your son may be requiring some remediation activities that are making him feel self-conscious because he knows that the skills are usually addressed at a much earlier grade level. However, without those skills, he will not be able to make academic progress.  You should talk with the LD teacher and (courteously) ask about his reasoning for the work he is giving your son.\n\nIf you are not satisfied by the LD teacher's explanation for the work, then call a new IEP. Demand that the committee outline the research-based practices that will be used to remediate your son's deficits (Orton or other LD-specific programming, a "mix" from different LD approaches is fine, as long as they are compatable). \n\nTry these links:\nhttp://www.reedmartin.com/specialeducationresources.htm\nhttp://www.ocecd.org/ocecd/about/trainers.cfm\nhttp://www.education-a-must.com/aalistnz.html

All the boys will have colorblindness. it depends strongly on the parental generation though.\nSince the father gives the progeny an X OR a Y chromosome (since boys are XY), to dictate the sex of the progeny, and the mother can only give an X chromosome (since girls are XX), therefore if the gene for colorblindness was on the Y chromosome, only the boys would have it because girls cannot have a Y chromosome. :)

Great letter - I'd be surprised if other parents didn't write in about this class, as well. If they refuse to switch classes, then switch schools. Your son's teacher is not giving her classmates the attention and support they need, and because of her, the students are out of line, able to do whatever they please. It inhibits your son's education as well, and the work ethic he builds in these early years sets him up for life.

Itchy eyes are a cardinal sign of allergies and probably aren't related to his glasses.  Make an appointment with your eye doctor who will be able to help you figure out the cause of your son's itching and an appropriate treatment.

Talk to the principal of the school.  I'm sure they can arrange something.\n\nSue them if they don't see things your way.

I would also submit any legal documents such a court orders involving custody matters and legal separation forms if you have any. This way there won't be any problems involving receiving information from the school regarding your child's progress. Take care. I wish you well as you are going through this.
