[quote=Anonymous]Welcome to a cold urban area. As someone who has a child with dyslexia let me give you my experience. Public schools are on a ‘wait to fail’ model. Their goal is to delay services - and frankly to do their level best to prevent you from receiving services. (Even though your child has a federal right - FAPE). Right now, you will be victim shamed - be pushy! Be assertive! - because it is a deeply corrupt system. And many of these folks are guilty employees of the system - they are actively ignoring your child. Here’s the deal - this is your child. First get him tested - a neuropsychological exam. See what’s going on. Then take steps to correct it. The school will most likely be your adversary. Take it one day at a time. And channel GEN Mattis: be polite, be kind but be prepared to fight. (Paraphrase there). Do not for a moment forget the public schools are your adversary but you first need to figure out what’s going on. Good luck![/quote]
