[quote=Anonymous]My DD5 is going to be a kindergartener in the fall with IEP from private preschool. She has similar problems with what OP has described here, speech (expressive and receptive delays) and academic goals learning learning phonics, numbers and learning to read anything. We did 1x/private speech & 1x/private OT since age 3, has IEP since age 2, and private daycare with preschool curriculum full time since age 2.5. Well, she is still developmental delay, and struggling on academic (letters, phonics, numbers) the most. Speech has improved a ton even though she is still falling behind.

I think she is learning at her own slow pace, and I am suspicious she has learning problem like dyslexia or others. She understands the concepts like some knowledge of science, world, but she can't recognize any words as long as it is written on a piece of papers in letters or numbers. Teachers say that she has problem understand phonics, and that is the early stage of reading. We hope that she will have a great IEP for kindergarten which I still have not received the draft yet. I am not sure what I would expect on IEP draft, but I hope it has enough support not to crush her confidence and helping her to learn.[/quote]
