[quote=Anonymous]I’m reaching out because I’m feeling a bit stuck and could really use your insight.

My daughter is in second grade and has severe dyslexia. She was diagnosed in first grade, and since this summer, she’s been working with a CALT trained by ASDEC. She also has an IEP and currently receives 30 minutes of specialized instruction five days a week, plus pull-out support for reading, writing, and math. I truly believe her school is doing the best it can with the resources available.

But this is the first year she’s really starting to feel how different he is from his classmates. She’s been saying how hard school is, and it’s heartbreaking. I want to help close the gap between her and her typical peers more quickly — I’m just not sure how to do that.
I know there are CSS programs for kids with behavioral needs, but is there anything similar for children with significant learning differences who don’t have behavioral issues? Are there other specialized settings in FCPS or supports I might be overlooking?

Private school options seem limited — I’ve looked into a few. I don’t think she would qualify for Oakwood because he’s too far behind academically. Lab School feels too socially restrictive for his needs, and I haven’t heard great things about Sienna. She is very social with high Emotional IQ and loves her friends at school.

Am I missing something? I’d be so grateful for any recommendations, experiences, or advice.[/quote]
