[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son with very low processing speed, dyscalculia and dysgraphia (but not dyslesxia) had an IEP with a scribe in elementary. I also retaught everything at home - he didn't have a choice, because we could not afford a tutor at that time. Then he had pull-outs where he managed to write without distractions, with an aide. All throughout this time I was still working intensively at home with him on his handwriting, reading comprehension, math, etc.

Then in middle school he had a typing and a calculator accommodation included in his IEP and managed to type quite well, after completing a typing training program at home. He had a writing tutor in middle school, because his ADHD and ASD level 1 were impeding his reading comprehension and he had a major writing block. In high school we went all out with expensive tutors, because by then we could afford it and he was in advanced and AP classes, and needed test prep as well. Despite his numerous diagnoses, he was able, by dint of extremely hard work, to overcome all these obstacles and do very well academically (socially is another kettle of fish...)

You do what you need to do, OP. [/quote]

Wow. That is a lot. Congrats to you and your son. You’re a great mom.  [/quote]
