[quote=Anonymous]DD is in 6th grade and failed the reading SOL. We are in the process of getting her privately evaluated.
I am kicking myself because I should have followed my gut.
I think I have always known something was off but at the same time thought if I just worked harder with her she would do better at school. There was always some other reason why she wasn’t performing like her peers according to others and I kind of just settled for it.

When she was a late talker it was because “she sucked her thumb” and that was getting in the way of her speech (Said to me by a SLP who was working with DD at 18 months)
When she was right on the cusp of the number of words she should be saying as a toddler. it was because we were multilingual home. 
When she was struggling to blend words; I thought it was because I was doing a poor job teacher her.
When she wasn’t getting great iready scores, it was because she was just confused by how the test worked (Kindergarten teacher) and I told myself it was because I didn’t send her to a preschool that set her up for literacy success in elementary. 
When she wasn’t spelling like she should have been, it’s because she missed most of first grade due to COVID and then had a full virtual year of second grade.
When she performed poorly in the iready again in later years; it was because she speaks two languages at home (said fifth grade teacher).
When she struggled with the reading SOL in fifth grade, it’s because she falls for all the tricky questions on the test.
Even in sixth grade with a failed reading SOL, her teacher says there isn’t evidence to indicate that she may have a learning disability despite being in a reading intervention group all year and is working with her at home in test taking strategies and content.
I am finally following my gut and getting her tested but I am beating myself really really badly about how long it’s taken me to get here.
