Sara545-- welcome to LDonline.
Of course you worry about your child and are concerned for his future. Blaming yourself will not help your son and it is not beneficial to you either. There is a new documentary on Dyslexia that is airing on HBO this month that focuses raising awareness and on giving hope for the future. It might be worth viewing together.
What are your sons strengths? What are his interests? What type of accommodations does your son have? Where are his greatest challenges? What
compensations skills is he developing? What types of assistive technology does he use?
Asking for help and seeking out a qualified counselor is a way to get answers and deal with the challenges that those with processing deficits or LDs often face.
It can be difficult and you. You may feel isolated in dealing with the challenges that you and your son are and have been facing. Rest assured you are not alone. Many have worn similar shoes.
