[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD did really well the first six weeks or so (whatever we've had so far) of school. Now, she's tanking. She's trying; clearly, things are getting harder. I'm really upset and worried. She has an IEP. She had been at one of the much touted dyslexia schools in this area for middle school and we pulled for public now (now in MCPS). The middle school did not do right by her; she made very little progress there. The high school has actually been helpful in getting her what she needs (not everything but they are trying). So, what should be my next step? Ask to meet directly with the teachers? One teacher in particular doesn't seem to care whether she passes or not.

DD has dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, EF issues, poor processing...

She's starting with a tutor this week, but there's so many issues - reading fluency, comprehension, EF challenges. There's only so much she can accomplish in the time she has.

DD has gone from an A to a C in history, math and English in a flash. History and math are close to Ds.

Can you say which middle school? I have a DC with similar challenges and we are looking at specialized middle schools now.

One of my concerns is sending DC to a private specialized school that doesn’t actually provide them with the education and tools they will need to be successful in high school.
