[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think special ed is the way it was.  It may be 2 extra hours  a week with resource teacher.  It maybe extra time on assignments.  For my child however, mcps really didn't provide much and we relied on extensive tutoring for my dyslexic child.[/quote]

OP here: Did the tutoring help? Was it always a struggle? My brother and I were both dyslexic in school. I gravitated to the subjects that were hard for me in an attempt to master them, while my brother favored the subjects that came easily. DD wants to be a doctor or a vet someday. I know dreams change (I wanted to join the circus when I was 7), but I'd never want DD to feel she needs to limit her dreams because math is hard for her. I want her to feel that with enough work and support, she can achieve anything. But is that true?

BTW, we love her tutor. She's a former MCPS teacher and DD loves working with her. We felt it was important to work with someone familiar with 2.0 (not a HS student, mathematician, or someone unfamiliar with the way math is taught now). DH is a gifted scientist and can't help her, either.[/quote]
