[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is true that Fairfax County refuses to acknowlege dyslexia as a learning challenge in and of itself.  It is unlike any other learning diability, challenge, gift, etc.  There are nine states in the US that recognize dyslexia as a completely seperate learning challenge and have drawn up laws specifically to address the way students should be taught.  That means having teachers who are educated in a manner that will teach a dyslexic student and not lumping these students in with other learning challenged students.  Many parents/guardians cannot afford to send their children to private schools.  So the state of Virginia should be stepping up and provinding students with dyslexia with an education that they are LEGALLY entiltled to.  Since Fairfax county is one of the richest counties in the United States I want to know why they are not leading the way for every state in the Union to address this problem?  One in five students is affected by dyslexia.  Dyslexics CAN be taught!  But only by teachers who are qualified and trained the skills needed to teach students with dyslexia.  Does the Fairfax county school board really want to continue to ignore this problem when it affects so many students?  REALLY?[/quote]
