My son Brennan (5th grade) has dyslexia. The Summit School system did not diagnose this issue even after several requests from us over the years. Finally, we went to an outside testing service and they confirmed our initial thoughts (Princeton Dyslexia Center). Due to the Summit School System's extremely poor addressing of this wide spread education issue, we were forced to seek a private and very expensive solution (Winston School in Short Hills). This is a VERY important issue that should be address for the benefit of the entire tax paying Summit population.

Just came from my son's parent teacher conference where I was told Dyslexia isn't a recognized diagnosis! Enough is enough... I've been trying to get him help since he was 5. Our education system needs to be overhauled to include how ALL the students learn not just the majority.
