[quote=Anonymous]My sister (a SpEd teacher in Fairfax County) just called to tell me that she just listened to the presentation on the new fairfax county recognition of dyslexia (e.g. the willingness to use that specific word on an IEP) and to include "phonological processing problems" in addition to the traditional auditory etc issues.

As a parent of a dyslexic child, albeit in Arlington, I'm thrilled that counties are at least recognizing that dyslexia is not the same as a "regular" reading delay.

Also, FWIW, I hope 1/16 11:34 is not right and that FCPS can do more than only refer you to outside sources.  Arlington has done a good bit in terms of SpEd help (not working with the reading specialist, but using a program called SpellRead designed for dyslexic kids with decoding problems and problems understanding different phonemes in mind) for my son, to the point that he is finally reading now.  Slowly, but reading.  I'm hoping that FFX has the same for their dyslexic children and maybe teh PP simply ran into someone misinformed or unhelpful.[/quote]
