[quote=Anonymous]My husband is quick to "defend" our DD when I point out she is struggling with something and suggest intervention. She also has dyslexia. Due to covid testing took and insanely long time. If you can pay for it privately, go that way, but it is expensive.

If your child's 2nd grade teacher is still at the school you can 100% do summer clinic. If you request them to evaluate your child they have to start the process within 14 days, then they have 60 (I think) to test. Not saying it would be done before the school year started but you'd have a jump start and wouldn't have to pay for it. There's a limit to how often your kid can have the IQ test.

All that being said FCPS is crap for kids with dyslexia, especially 2E kids (gifted and dyslexia). Those kids are more able to hide it and are diagnosed a bit later. Or it looks like they are "catching up" when they're just getting better at hiding it. That was our kid.

DyslexiaConnect is great for tutoring. It's online and our is now reading above grade level. We pulled our kid from FCPS when it was clear she wasn't going to get what she needed. She needs both help and to be challenged and our school would never be able to handle that with where things stand today.[/quote]
