[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would it be more productive to assume she has dyslexia and act accordingly? You don't need the diagnosis for school if she already has SLD eligibility. And if she has limited patience for evaluations, her time may be better spent with a tutor getting baseline data.[/quote] That would be the most productive move. Unfortunately, the school won't add any more academic support except self-contained classes because they believe that her failed grades, incomplete assignments are due to "low motivation" and "avoidance of non-preferred tasks." If she has dyslexia, she will need specialized and targeted interventions for that. We cannot afford private school. [/quote] A dyslexia diagnosis won't change that self contained classes are how many districts deliver specialized and targeted interventions. She's already classified as SLD, you said, which is as close as IDEA gets to dyslexia. Can you afford a tutor?[/quote]
