You are going to tell the counselor that most of your family has severe dyslexia, and that your struggles with Spanish have made you think that you may have an LD in that range as well. Don’t say that you think you have a specific issue that only is with Spanish. Just tell them that your consistent struggles in that class, and similar difficulties (but less severe) in English, have made you decide it is time to get a formal evaluation. And if you are in a public school, they have to set it up, because you are old enough to ask for it on your own.
