A preschool child shouldn't be diagnosed with dyslexia as reading skills haven't emerged yet and reversal of letters is very common at this age. Did you mean to put this question in a different category?

Drawbacks depend on how the school runs its program and how much knowledge or willingness to study dyslexia. If the child is pulled out of the regular classroom, he/she might miss some of the lessons. Make sure critical instruction in core subjects are not missed. Some children experience teasing/ridicule if in an inclusive program. A good teacher/aide will work hard to prevent this. An inclusive program can help a student learn to read in a way that fits the child (like using colored filters or technology that "reads" the words the child has difficulties with). Be open and honest with the teachers and talk to the head of the program to see if your concerns can be addressed. Good luck!

Inclusion is always better. Make sure the program teaches phonics.
