OP - Even if money is tight, is there any way that you could get her tested privately by a reading specialist to see if she does have dyslexia.  This would be a specific diagnosis and would need specific interventions.  [b]The school division seems to want to keep her in the "inclusion model" because it is cheaper[/b] than having her even go out to a resource room for language arts and math or placed in a self-contained room for those core subjects.   I really think you could use an advocate who knows the ins and outs of the system oua re dealing with to get your daughter better services.  See if there are any parent resource centers in your area.

Does anyone know of any advocate that takes on some cases on a sliding fee scale up in the area?[/quote]

Teacher here: The "division" doesn't write IEPs. Teachers work with parents to write an IEP. We do not consider costs when writing an IEP. We are required by law to provide the least restrictive environment first, and if there's data to support pulling the student into a more restrictive setting such as a resource room, then we do it. Please don't insult the hardworking, caring teachers who are doing their best to provide what each student needs.
