[quote=Anonymous]Same scenario -- MCPS, SLD (dysgraphic, poor phonemic awareness) kid with high scores in some areas, weak in others. I also needed an advocate. A little frustrating, since the advocate said EXACTLY the same things I was saying, but at much greater cost/hour. It is magic. Shows the IEP team that you are serious and you know what you are talking about and are willing to go so far as to file a complaint. So, we got the IEP. Accommodations, etc. are valuable and worth the trouble we went to. However, MCPS has exactly ZERO ability to teach kids with SLD, IMO. So, I would advise, spend enough money to get the IEP and as much as you can in the way of accommodations and goals. BUT, preserve the rest of your assets for private tutoring specific to your kid's SLD. [/quote]
