[quote=Anonymous]Our kid was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD and dyslexia in 7th grade. She was having panic attacks in school when she was asked to read out loud. APS refused to give her a 504 or an IEP because she is an A student. They said there was no evidence that she was having trouble accessing the curriculum. We only got some light reading supports after the Swanson reading specialist independently confirmed that she was, in fact, dyslexic. We were told that she would not qualify for any supports at Yorktown based on her grades. This is all likely illegal, but I am too tired to fight APS. We enrolled her in O’Connell for high school, and they have been wonderful. What I love about DJO is that they are committed to helping every student reach their full potential, as opposed to APS that just wants to get every kid to benchmark— which is so, so low.[/quote]
