[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tilden parent here.   If he gets a dyscalculia diagnosis, get him an IEP with co-teaching services in Math (SPED teacher and GenEd teacher co-teach) and see if you can get a Resource class on the schedule (SPED support for classwork, executive functioning needs, etc.).  And I wquldn't worry about starting him in the regular Math sequence.  Keep in mind that MCPS requires 4 years of Math in High School.   Every year.   Take a look at the pathways and add up the courses.

FWIW, our DC with an IEP has taken regular Math each year at Tilden and will start Algebra I in 9th grade.   On the regular pathway he'll graduate having met MCPS requirements and going into the world with probably just about the same level of Math education that DH and I graduated with. Not concerned about him missing out on Math-intensive higher learning -- DC's abilities and interests lie elsewhere.  DC has benefited from co-teaching, and until this year had weekly outside tutoring for reinforcement.  Hasn't needed the tutoring for Math 8 - we'll see how things go next year.  [/quote]

Consider carefully a co taught class.  They have 1 extra aid, but lots of kids with lots of different issues.  My dyslexic/dysgraphic kid preferred a regular classroom.[/quote]
