[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this for an IEP or a 504?[/quote]

Tomorrow is the first local screening committee meeting. With dyslexia I am trying for the IEP.[/quote]

Okay, good--lots more options with an IEP.

If you are just beginning local screening, you won't come up with any accommodations tomorrow.  It will just be an eligibility meeting (unless they plan to run two meetings back to back which is unusual IME). You have time to gather thoughts and wishes.

In my years as a general education math teacher, dyslexic kids have had accommodations such as pre-printed copies of notes (no copying problems from the board), access to graph paper to do problems (1 digit per box), and access to teacher notes (this is usually through schoology as I have so many kids who need this for one reason or another). It is also common to have read aloud/read on demand for assessments. If in a team taught class, there are often a small handful who will go to another room to have questions read aloud if it's a paper test. If it's a computer test, it generally has built in read aloud functionality.

If you end up with an IEP, the school will likely suggest a literacy class for one of the electives.[/quote]
