[quote=Anonymous]I’ve long suspected that senior DD is dyslexic, like me. She has a diagnosis of anxiety and has received accommodations in MCPS since elementary school. She was tested initially for ADHD (negative) and dyslexia (borderline) seven years ago. When I asked MCPS to test her for dyslexia, her high school refused. I didn’t push or test her privately because it’s expensive and she was performing so well in school (4.7 WGPA with good rigor). Now that she’s headed off to college, I want to get her the supports she needs to do well in a more rigorous environment. Our pediatrician recommends I wait until DD knows where she’s headed and then work with the disabilities office to make sure she gets the right kind of documentation. Does that make sense to those who’ve been through this? I tried to get her on the list at Children’s last year and failed, so I’m worried I won’t get this done in time if I wait. Any recommendations of where to go for this testing?[/quote]
