    My son was just diagnosed with dyslexia/add and my nephew was diagnosed with a tracking issue. Are they related disorders and is the help similar for both?

    Dyslexia and ADD are both cognitive issues and tracking is not. As for dyslexia, there are numerous cognitive processing deficits that can lead to this diagnosis such as sequencing, auditory discrimination, and visual processing difficulties. ADD is an attentional problem and is "housed" in an area called executive functioning. In contrast, tracking is a issue specifically with the eyes. This is when an individual has difficulty scanning across the page from left to right.

    Now it is always possible for a student with Dyslexia to also have tracking problems, but it is not required in that particular diagnosis.

List of Reasonable Accommodations and Modifications for Students with Learning Disabilities

Getting the best reasonable accommodations for struggling learners with disabilities can be a challenge.  The list of possible options is rarely made available to parents, so many remain unaware of the diverse options.  The first step is the understand the difference between reasonable accommodations and modifications.  Accommodations vs. Modifications? The United States clumps accommodations and modifications under the term reasonable accommodations, but other countries, such as Canada make a distinction between the two. An accommodation describes an alteration of the environment, curriculum format, or equipment that allows an individual with a disability to gain access to content and/or complete assigned tasks. Since accommodations do not alter what is being taught, instructors should be able to implement the same grading scale. Some examples of accommodations include: preferential seating, audiobooks, and speech to text technology. A modification describes...
