[quote=Anonymous]My DD is in 3rd grade and has been behind her peers in reading and math since K. COVID was K and 1st back in person mid year. She had bdpq letter reversal, which is now b, d and less frequent. She gets 5 days a week reading intervention after 2nd grade year of only getting 2-3 days. I supplemented since 1st 1-2 days a week with OG certified tutor plus reading at home guided by tutor. They are noting improvements with this intervention. This summer I will do 3 days a week intervention. (Thankfully we can afford it) she also doesn’t know right from left — we think we taught her but it was so “off” that we honestly thought she was playing games and being silly with us. She struggles to pay attention at home especially with anything she is not really interested in “you’re not listening” or “please listen” comes out a lot. The school evaluation shows below average working memory but average spatial reasoning. The belief is that spatial reasoning would also be low if dyslexia. She is competitive at a sport and she has said “sometimes I hear the corrections but then I forget” coaches have also said she is easily distracted. She doesn’t show hyperactivity but inattentiveness - yes. She loves her sport and her dance. She can learn skills and choreography. Mostly so far it’s that she needs a lot of extra time. Extra privates for her sport, extra school practice. I mean for 3rd grade I’m talking like average of 45-60 min a day broken up. We have a doctor appointment next week. I’m going to read the school report and I’m considering paying for a more comprehensive evaluation if needed. I feel like from 1-3rd I’ve been “optimistic” about catching up from COVID but it just feels like more. Anyone have any experience that could help me? Advice? I feel like I’m failing at being her advocate. I know the school will not IEP her (we haven’t had the meeting yet). I’m worried about finishing 3rd successfully but also 4-5th and beyond. Is the doctor the next best place to discuss? [/quote]
