[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep.

I think one of the first things you learn as a parent of a child with dyslexia is that there is only you.

I'm not saying that's necessarily bad but it's important to realize that so you can move forward faster.[/quote]

So well said.  Don’t forget the research institutions.  For years Georgetown university gave free neuropsych and tutoring in exchange for being part of a study.  I think the NIH funding ran out.  Op I know it’s ridiculous when you moved to FCPS - which has a good ‘reputation’ (like MCPS) and spends billions of our tax dollars but does nothing for dyslexics.  This poster has it right - you are on your own with regards to the public school system but will be able to build a team to help your child.  Time is your true enemy.  (That’s why ‘wait to fail’ is so morally bankrupt).  The public school systems are merely jobs programs for adults.  It’s basically Boss Tweed all over again with reading scores dropping like a skydiver without a parachute deployed.  [/quote]
