[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you.  This is OP. I realize I"m in danger of "outing" myself here but our back to school night was recent and yes, a 504 is not enough. I am not sure the teacher has read it and the accommodations have not been made in the first two weeks of school.

We are going to request an IEP meeting based on what we've found. Luckily for us, our son's handwriting is so...very bad, and spelling almost non-existent, that we should be able to get a meeting for that.

Not sure if we can "back door" dyslexia but we are going to try.

Husband ready to pull child and place in private. I really feel like fighting the system though.

There are many parents in this school system with high-school kids. THey rightly started the fight and I feel compelled to carry that torch but why, oh why is it taking DECADES?

Sorry ladies and gentlemen I"m pissed now; 6 months after dx and school doing almost nothing. [/quote]

What county are you in?  If your child is clearly showing signs of dyslexia, you shouldn't have to back door it.  We're in Montgomery County and when the teacher and I requested the IEP meeting they met with us very quickly and got the process rolling.  For my DD is was very apparent that she was dyslexic and they put an IEP in place.  With in one grading period, her report card dramatically improved.  Tell your teacher you want to start this process.  If you request it, they have to test your child.[/quote]
