[quote=Anonymous]FCPS won’t provide a formal medical diagnosis, but they can evaluate for a reading learning disability and may say something like “the child’s profile is consistent with a reading disability.” We had to go outside the school system to get an official diagnosis. What grade is your child in? K–2 students are tested with VALLSS, which I’ve found to be much more informative than i-Ready for early reading skills. Students flagged as high risk (like my child) should receive 2.5 hours a week of reading intervention per the new literacy act in VA. For older grades, if a student has not passed the Reading SOL, the school typically must give VALLSS as well. If your child hasn’t had VALLSS, I’d request it. Based on those results, you can decide whether to ask for a full evaluation next.[/quote]
