Hi all, I'm looking for help for the child of a friend of mine. Several of his children have ADHD but one who is thirteen, reads at about a 2nd grade level, even though she is very intelligent. She does receive special help in the school she attends, and has been tested and diagnosed as having a learning disability,but for whatever reason, the school's special instruction hasn't helped her much, at least in regards to her reading ability. The father is setting up a meeting with her teachers, but in the meantime I'm curious if anyone out there has any helpful contact information regarding who he could possibly take her to on his own; in particular either a tutor who specializes in reading disabilities, or a program that could help her in this regard, in addition to what the school is providing. The child used to speak eagerly of going to College one day, but now there's a sadness about her and doesn't speak of College anymore. I only learned of this recently, because she's been very good at hiding it, I'm assuming out of shame, which is so sad. Any help is greatly appreciated!
