[quote=Anonymous]I am a Sped teacher in the county. You are correct that we are not trained in multi-sensory approaches.  Wilson is no longer approved by the county. Some may be using it, but we are not supposed to. We also cannot write specific interventions into an IEP because it commits the school to that program. If you happen to move and they don't have that program, it is a problem. Some teachers will go out and get specialized training on their own, but is is expensive and often not reimbursed by the county. 
Reading specialists have many hats in the county.  It also depends on how the administration wants to use them. Most attend all grade level planning meetings for reading to make sure the curriculum is being implemented.  Most serve as the GT coordinator for the school. Some may also be the testing coordinator. Then they try and plug intervention groups into their schedules to help those students that need the interventions. 
It is by no means a perfect system and is frustrating for all involved. I cannot be a master in all disabilities that I work with, but I wish my employer would help provide me with the training I need to support my students. [/quote]
