[quote=Anonymous]Private tutoring and therapy in the early grades. I worked with him myself as well. What MCPS provided for intervention was always vague and poorly defined. He had a disorder of written expression/dysgraphia and the intervention was just graphic organizers or editing his work for him. It was awful. There was no attempt to remediate the disability by explicitly teaching spelling, grammar, etc. We did eventually move to a private school (mainstream) that had a very strong language arts curriculum and the teacher modified assignments by scaffolding so he could learn essential writing skills. He was a strong writer by the end of HS and even joined his school paper - an outcome we never imagined. But he didn’t get there because of anything MCPS did for him. [/quote]
