Emilia went to get assessed for dyslexia and dyscalculia, We booked this back in May so if you are thinking about getting your child assessed consider how long it might take.. I know Emilia was really worried about doing this and what it might mean afterward but she left the center feeling good about it.. i wish i had been assessed as a child and therefore i wouldn't have spent most of my life thinking i was stupid because i couldn't read words without them changing but then at university i was assessed and suddenly a lot made sense to me!

So glad amelia got assessed sooner rather than later because it makes things so much easier in school to know because you can get one-to-one help from the school. I am dyslexic and am so glad i got assessed when i was amelia's age, it made things easier because i got the help i needed when i was still young. Well done amelia for doing the assessment, i remember being very nervous for my assessment as well!

It's a beautiful thing when a parent doesn't dismiss your learning challenges and pays attention to a child's struggles. My cousin has a daughter who struggled through school, and I suspected it may be ADHD (which I struggle with) but she would not have her tested, even though her daughter asked to be tested. She continues to call her lazy and will not admit her daughter struggles. It is extremely frustrating, as I'm a family member and cannot directly step on my cousin's toes. Emilia is very lucky to have Jonathan and Anna as parents!!

@purvatembe705 Год назад

Call the child lazy and not fine what causes that is really sad.... God bless the child.

@corriee.1381 2 года назад

Can I just say how refreshing and positive this video is. I have both of these conditions and have suffered with them badly since childhood and it still affects my confidence terribly today. I was made to feel nothing but stupid at school (despite going to a private school), and my parents never really told me the diagnosis till I was at university on the basis that disabilities aren’t really something to be spoken about. Im in a top profession now, and it’s not been without it’s struggles and I have learnt to be open with employers but if I can be as positive and open with my own children (when I have them) that their condition is nothing to be ashamed of, like you and Emilia, then I know I’m going about it the right way.

@taramcgarrigle4149 2 года назад

thank you for posting I've never heard of dyscalculia before as someone in my 40s I've always had problems with numbers I've just done an online free test and shows i have moderate to high levels so i will def be looking into this more thank you for sharing

@Wild.Flower 2 года назад

Same, I'm mid 30s! It's a relief to think there's maybe an actual THING that I have had all this time. Getting into 'maths' situations with work or in daily life been a secret terror for me and a humiliating burden. Having this could lift so much shame from my shoulders (not that it should be shameful, but of course it feels that way when you're faced with something you can't do especially as an adult).

@jessward3133 2 года назад

I have dyslexia dyspraxia and autism. And have just got my first teaching job. It amazing that you are going and making sure that she gets the help she need as with it she will be able to do anything that she wants. Tell Emelia that she can do what ever she want and to never let anyone say or do anything to get in her way. This don't stop it just makes her the amazing person that she is

I have dyscalculia too, it's something that not many people know about so thank you for raising awareness and for taking Emelia to be assessed :) it makes a big difference having supportive parents that do this

@estewart4904 2 года назад

I found out I was dyslexic when I was 10 and finding it out early made such a difference in comparison to others - my grades shot up when I finally got the support I needed. Just finished uni with a first, so congrats on finding it out about dyscalculia this early cause everyone is definitely not as lucky as us! :)

Terrific news! I wish to God this learning disability was known when I was your daughter's age. At age 63 I still tell time (5 mins till a quarter of 3).What I will tell you is that she will develop visual skills to compensate for most things that involve math. Thanks for letting young parents know about this!

He received training through the Barton program. He can read, now, and understands his learning styles so much better. Take heart, Mum! Everything will be all right. Hugs! :)

My son was diagnosed with dyscalculia at 10. Home schooled him straight away. He's now a engineer. We never labelled him. He loved home schooling....he researched everything he was interested in. Told him numbers don't lie. He researched numerology....all of sudden he just shined.

I have ADD so its hard for me to read and rlly comprehend what I’m reading unless I read it over and over about three times before it finally registers in my head so Thank u for having an audiobook because now I don’t have to read it I can listen and it registers in my head the first time instead of if I was reading it in words like I said I would have to read it three times which is why I don’t really love reading books unless I can get audiobooks so thank you very much ur book is amazing love getting to know u more on a personal level then before 🥰🥰🥰🥰

@alejandrosmama89 2 года назад

My daughter was diagnosed with both early this year. She also has dysgraphia. It may be worth looking into an assessment for adhd as they tend to go hand in hand. My daughter has inattentive adhd so not hyperactive which is really easy to go unnoticed especially at school. I home school my daughter so that’s when I started seeing it and got her a private assessment.

@hannahhawkins5324 2 года назад

I really have to applaud you both Anna and Jonathan cos more parents need to be aware and more kids need to be assessed for things like this. Don’t leave it too long. And I’m also autistic and didn’t get that diagnosis till I was 24. So yeah parents don’t leave it too long.

@sarahandy9981 2 года назад

Im so happy you got Emlia tested. I didn't find out I was dyslexic till my last year of high school. I missed out on so much help I could have received on tests and schooling through the years.

She doesn’t get extra time because your school has to do exam access we’re the students have to do a test 1 to 1 and send it in to the exam board they work with and that’s who makes the decision of it it depends what is is the exam access tests when that happens they will also look at other things she might need the report will make it more Easier to get extra time.

You probably know, but pretty sure you need to have an exam with the school to allow extra time? You need a special plan with the team at school. Just because you registered with something, doesn't just gives you it. You have to now put it in place. I had 30 minute extra time, plus spare room for exams (27) and I had to do tests at school to be aloud.

Having been a school psychologist and then a dyslexia specialist, I always suspected that Jonathan most likely had ADHD/Dyslexia. It is highly heritable.

You are always correcting Jonathan's spelling, etc. I'll be curious to know what you find out. Dyscalculia and dyslexia are not one in the same. I am glad they teased that out.
