[quote=Anonymous]OP, does your child have an IEP for other disabilities or is this your first time with the IEP process? DCPS puts dyslexia under Specific Learning Support or SLS.

from DCPS guide: Instruction is aligned to the Common Core State Standards, the DCPS Scope and Sequence, and students’ IEP goals.
Students benefit from reading and math programs such as SpellRead, System 44, and Read 180.
Students in the SLS program are monitored in reading and math with their non-disabled peers. Students in the SLS
program participate in the standard state assessment with accommodations according to their IEP. It is uncommon for
an SLS student to be found eligible for the alternate state assessment.

Also check Understood.org It has lots of templates, articles, videos, etc. on how to create and manage IEPs for learning disabilities. You can search by age, disability, content format, etc.

Few DCPS schools have fully trained staff who can handle significant dyslexia. They won't use the "d" word because it's a trigger for specific interventions that DC just can't promise because of lack of resources.[/quote]
