[quote=Anonymous]Our 2nd grader is in private school and is below grade level in reading and writing but teachers report no concerns in other areas. He's social, easy-going, contributes to class discussions, doesn't seem to have a hard time paying attention, etc. He started off slow due to COVID closures and kind of a missed year, and I would have expected him to catch up quicker than he has, but he doesn't display anything that suggests to me any kind of LD or attention difference, etc.

We thought maybe dyslexia, but when we talked with some potential very experienced dyslexia tutors, they wrote off dyslexia based on description of what he can do.

Recently the school seemed to suggest we could go through the county process and get an IEP so that a tutor would come during the school year to tutor him from the county. Is this really a thing? I have another kid who has ASD, so I'm familiar with the IEP process, and even with a kid with an ASD diagnosis and obvious attention and behavior challenges, it was a battle getting any kind of services (to be fair, he was testing at grade level even though he was struggling in class in other ways, so maybe that was why).[/quote]
