[quote=Anonymous]There is more and more research that suggests that the same multi-sensory teaching methodologies that work for students with dyslexia also work for students with intellectual disabilities. Regardless of the educational path your DS continues on, being able to read and write is a PROTECTIVE service into INDEPENDENT adulthood. The importance of being functionally literate is far more important than whether or not your DS can get a HS diploma. However, you will have to go outside the school system (and even private schools) for these services, and, even among dyslexia specialists, there are not a lot of providers who have either this type of awareness or expertise. The IDA website lists providers and locally ASDEC.ORG trains people in Sounds in Syllables, which is designed for students with the most severe difficulties. [/quote]
