[quote=Anonymous]I am reading this and am astounded that FCPS is behind....DCPS!?  My son was acknowledged in third grade as having a diagnosis of dyslexia (though it took a speech pathologist and neuropsych testing to confirm it.)  It is an auditory dyslexia - though many people think dyslexia is a visual disorder only ( it can be).  However,  I believe the law requires dyslexia and several other disabilities to be listed as "Specific Learning Disability" in an IEP, but the reportd use the word dyslexia.  That said, I got DCPS to pay for 3 weeks of Lindamood Bell training (we had evidence that previous LB training that had worked, but DC needed one-on-one intensive and had no one in the system to do it) and for the last 2 years, his SpecEd teacher has been using the Wilson Reading Program with him.  This summer, he's also been given 6 weeks of FastForWord and is maintaining grade level reading skills - so he's reading at 6th grade level even though it has been a slog.   He jumped from first to 4th grade reading with the LB program.

Please know that we hired a consultant and threatened to sue - or none of this would have happened.
