[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is more a pipe dream, but if schools aren't going to offer instruction proven effective for kids with dyslexia, aren't they required by FAPE to reimburse O-G tutoring?

Where does it say in the legislation that O-G is required for reading for a child with dyslexia to be considered FAPE?   The programs they do use are "multi-sensory".  [/quote]

Do all schools provide programs that are proven effective for kids with dyslexia?  Parents on here seem to indicate that many schools only provide more phonics-based instruction, RIT, and other pograms proven to be ineffective for teaching kids with dyslexia.  If the only instruction provided doesn't work for kids with dyslexia, I would think that would fail the Appropriate part of FAPE ...

I understand reality ... schools don't want to spend money on one of the most common LDs and even if they did want to spend the money, most teachers are not trained.  And most parents can either afford private schools and left or can't afford to sue the school anyhow.  But it just strikes me that most of the time I hear from parents that the burden of providing appropriate reading instruction falls exclusively on families and the schools provide little to no effective instruction.  So how is this legal?
