[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP - MCPS thought my child was dyslexic.  A private evaluation showed my child had ADHD impacting reading comprehension with some decoding problems affecting fluency.  She initially was 2 grades behind with reading till we placed her with a private tutor that did a summer program of Lindamood Bell.

Knowing the correct diagnosis made it possible to get my child help, even though the cost was over $10,000 for the private evaluation and tutoring.  Worth it to us so my child could learn how to read. Not all families though have the finances to pay what we did just so their child can be educated.

MCPS skimps on the evaluations and services to the point many children with disabilities do not have access to educational opportunities.  [/quote]

MCPS should be providing all kids with extra reading support by 2nd grade if they are not reading.  I'd prefer to see it happen in 1st grade.  If kids cannot read, they cannot be successful in any of their classes.  Its shameful how we don't catch things early and when parents do, MCPS ignores it as the parents are doing it privately.  We spent who knows how much on private therapies and getting help with MCPS was a joke.[/quote]
