[quote=Anonymous]Schools use IDEA categories, which includes the term Specific Learning Disability (SLD) rather than dyslexia or dysgraphia. The DSM uses specific learning disorder (SLD), also in place of dyslexia or dysgraphia. While both dyslexia and dysgraphia are common terms used by parents and professionals, it does nor correspond to official diagnostic terminology. When private providers diagnose dyslexia, they are using that term because that is what people are familiar with, not because it is the official diagnostic term. What is your child's special ed classification? SLD in reading is synonymous with dyslexia, SLD in writing is synonymous with dysgraphia, and SLD in math is synonymous with dyscalculia. [/quote]
