[quote=Anonymous]Dyslexia mom here- not sure if I am the “whining” one the teacher is referencing. I  think OPs question sounds like someone who is just diving into this disturbing area since she is now personally affected with her friend’s child’s diagnosis.

It is a really disturbing thing when you first realize how poorly served this population is.  I think of it as moving through the stages of grief.

And I don’t think you can assume that the “whining” dyslexia mom isn’t also partnering with teachers and advocating for change along with saying dyslexia here. I know I am.

But since you have a SPED certificate- did that include training in OG-type interventions for dyslexic kids? Or is there another way to figure this out for people who are looking at schools?  Because I think that is what OP is trying to figure out for her friend.

I have to admit that I am skeptical of your claim that keeping kids out of special Ed supports them better, since if they don’t have an IEP school’s aren’t required to provide appropriate instruction.[/quote]
