[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  I am asking for specific personal experience.  No, most kids with LDs cannot be served by their home schools.  If your kid is dyslexic MoCo does not employ staff with training in any of the specialized reading methodologies that dyslexic kids need to learn to read. I want to know "what different program."

NP here. So what happens to kids with dyslexia? Where I am moving from the elementary school screens kids in first grade for dyslexia and one of the school speech therapists is assigned to work with kids who have dyslexia. Is this not the case in MCPS or other districts?[/quote]

SLPs in MCPS only work on oral language disorders. Children with dyslexia would work with a reading specialist or special ed teacher.

OP, some schools have staff trained in those specific methodologies if they've done it independently. Most of the schools I've worked in have offered at least Wilson.

It's the shame of our schools.  SLPs could be working on reading issues and special ed teachers should be certified in evidence based reading programs.

If your kid is dyslexic, consider outside tutoring.  ASDEC's pretty good.[/quote]

To be honest, I'm already nearly at the top of my caseload limit (65) just working on oral language disorders. There are plenty of people who can address reading. There's nobody else in the school who can do what I do with the other kids. I think that part at least is a very smart decision of labor. Very, very few SLPs are certified in reading remediation. It's not part of our standard Master's training.

The reading certifications for teachers and reading specialists I know less about, but I do know that every school is offering a specific program. Some just offer more than one. It's public school, and if you want something done exactly the way you want it for your child, a tutor or private may be the better option. We'd all like to do more, but nobody wants to fund it.[/quote]

Are there reading specialists in each school
at least? Im sure that could help, right?[/quote]
