Hello. I'm a Masters-certified Barton Reading & Spelling tutor in private practice in Northern Virginia. My now-20-year-old son was my first student in 2013. Have you ever offered your tutors dyslexia training? If not, please consider it. I've given several public talks - at my local library, homeschool co-ops, and my children's former preschool about the topic so parents can recognize the warning signs.
I have no doubt that all of your adult students fit the profile. I've written about how the public schools fail students with dyslexia for a decade. This is my blog: https://blog.readwritespellright.com/
