[quote=Anonymous]Op here, totally fair then not to ask for that level of detail to be in the IEP. Thanks for the feedback, understood.

A larger question remains for me. The worksheets seemed to be chosen at random and not appropriate for a dyslexic student. They were general remediation worksheets.

One was on latin/greek root matching that both her ASDEC tutor and I found to be difficult even for us non dyslexic adults. DD said she had a very hard time working through the worksheet and at the end the literacy teacher just gave her all the answers but did not actually teach her any of it.

The second was on suffixes and was VERY text heavy. This may feel nuanced, but the worksheet instructed DD to "remember" which word to pick for a correct spelling and definition. Working memory is a huge area of deficit for DD something noted in the private and school led evaluation. To successfully complete this assignment DD had to rely on working memory... which of course she struggled on.

The third one was on three different type of silent letters. ASDEC tutor said a dyslexic student would need to learn each of these three separately and then broken down into much more granular pieces since students with this profile need to see these concepts 14-40 times to master them.

So... my question is, how do I ensure that the intervention that DD is getting is meeting her needs? I am not asking for one particular program/methodology over the other. I just want it to meet her needs. I am grateful that she gets the intervention, dont get me wrong, I just want to make sure it's valuable. [/quote]
