[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's paraeducator says she knew he had dyslexia but was not allowed to suggest that in the 504 meeting. They ended up recommending audiology treatment even though he has no hearing problem. He's actually got very severe dyslexia and ADHD. I finally figured it out myself after years of him not progressing. And then got him private testing and tutoring and later a special ed school. So if you are worried about your kid's reading progress, definitely get them tested![/quote] Just several years ago, schools would not diagnose or provide support for dyslexia since it’s considered a brain based disorder and fell under medical. Since you left, MCPS has trained hundreds of teachers in programs that support students with dyslexia. I definitely recommend getting a full neuropsych done if you and the teachers are seeing significant learning or developmental delays. At minimum, discuss your concerns with your doctor. [/quote]
