[quote=Anonymous]My child has severe dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia. She’s in 11th grade now, was privately diagnosed end of 1st grade( with only dyslexia, the others were added in 4th grade). We are in a Md school district. If I could go back in time, I would put her in a specialized school until the end of 8th grade and transition to public for HS. 
IMO, a severely dyslexic child will not be well served in public and the idea that they will “ catch up” will also be difficult to achieve, especially if they struggle with memory, math  and potentially writing. My child will always have a gap, specifically with rote memory and it will impact her in many ways. 
I completely underestimated the social difficulties faced by kids with LDs, specifically in MS and it has been a continual issue in many ways for our child. A supportive environment in a specialized school has really been beneficial as she figured out her strengths and has to advocate for herself as well as using resources to overcome things that are difficult for her. The specialized schools aren’t perfect but it has been  the best all around supportive environment for our child,
Asdec is incredible and the best program by far that my child was to exposed to for reading /spelling. 
I hated when people told me this is a marathon not a sprint when she was younger but it is so true. It is a long process to remediate severe dyslexia and it is impactful for life. Best of luck to you and her.
