[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a special ed teacher, let me say that we just aren't staffed so that your child can get the kind of instruction needed. For severely dyslexic kids, you should do all you can to find tutors or a private placement. It's very frustrating to know that we just don't have the time to work with your kid as we should.[/quote]

Thanks for admitting that!  If the schools could just be honest (I know, federal law and all that), it would save a lot of pain!

OP, get a private tutor ASAP.  Susan Barton (Barton method) can send you list of certified tutors in your area and even remote tutors.  My DD does remote tutoring (she is older so maybe more able to handle remote, but it's an option).  She did another OG program first and now does Barton.  She thinks Barton is better than the other one.  She's almost 13 and has been doing various forms of tutoring since she was 9.  You are lucky to know early!  My advice is to empower her.  My DD was so much happier once she understood her learning disabilities and got it that she wasn't stupid, she just learns differently.  She owns her dyslexia and it has been empowering for her.[/quote]
