[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids, both struggling with Dyslexia. The older we are now moving to private because his elementary school's Special Ed department was completely inept and refused to implement OG strategies despite them being in the IEP. The younger was just diagnosed privately in a neuropsych eval showing Dyslexia and major learning loss, but FCPS testing showed grade level, no issues. I have zero trust in FCPS and urge you to get private testing and a private tutor who specializes in Orton Gillingham teaching. FCPS is not willing to truly help kids struggling with dyslexia and their schools are completely inconsistent in terms of teachers and special education. I know others have had good experiences, but our particular elementary school is a complete disaster and I've heard the middle school is too.

In terms of the middle school elective, you need to find students and parents at that school because the strength of the class is really dependent on the teacher teaching the class. We are not confident, based on other student/parent feedback, that the class would help our older student at all.  In fact, parents of students with a similar profile to ours told us not to even bother with the public middle school. Our IEP advocate was not sure either.

Again, everyone's experiences are a bit different because all the kids are a bit different. However, for us, we have no confidence in FCPS and the schools we are zoned for, so we have private OG tutors and are pulling our kids and putting them into specilized private schools. [/quote]
