[quote=Anonymous]They don't, at least not the level of services you describe. Public schools provide testing, which is usually insufficient (and sometimes it is). They also provide remediation, which also is usually insufficient to fully address dyslexia. IMO, as a parent of a kid with dyslexia and researcher with expertise in similar programs, school systems need to spend way more money on this issue AND we need to focus on programs that don't require highly specialized tutors. They're out there; OG is not the only approach. We as citizens can advocate for better SN supports in public schools. Those are, especially for something as common and profound as dyslexia, far more important than myriad GT programs (looking at you, MCPS). We can also push for better healthcare coverage of various SN services.[/quote]
