[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you in (MCPS)? (MCPS) will recognize dyslexia as a learning disability, but does not test specifically for it. We use other data points to determine the educational impact. It is very difficult to diagnose a young child because the discrepancy is not huge, especially if they have a mild disability. And vowel sounds are developmental at this point. It can take some kids a little longer. [/quote] MCPS would not recognize Dyslexia for us (even with a private diagnosis). They said that was a medical issue. They just gave my child a "specific learning disability". There is no MPCS program specific to dyslexia. He only got general resource help. His progress was only based on private work we did with him. Even as a second grader they tried to convince us that letter reversal and only minimal reading was ok.. Good luck! [/quote]
