[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am reading this and am astounded that FCPS is behind....DCPS!?  My son was acknowledged in third grade as having a diagnosis of dyslexia (though it took a speech pathologist and neuropsych testing to confirm it.)  It is an auditory dyslexia - though many people think dyslexia is a visual disorder only ( it can be).  However,  I believe the law requires dyslexia and several other disabilities to be listed as "Specific Learning Disability" in an IEP, but the reportd use the word dyslexia.  That said, I got DCPS to pay for 3 weeks of Lindamood Bell training (we had evidence that previous LB training that had worked, but DC needed one-on-one intensive and had no one in the system to do it) and for the last 2 years, his SpecEd teacher has been using the Wilson Reading Program with him.  This summer, he's also been given 6 weeks of FastForWord and is maintaining grade level reading skills - so he's reading at 6th grade level even though it has been a slog.   He jumped from first to 4th grade reading with the LB program.

Please know that we hired a consultant and threatened to sue - or none of this would have happened.

I have never heard of "auditory dyslexia".  I am concerned about dyslexia w/ my son.  His reading is OK, but his sounding out of new words is ridiculously bad.  If you tell him the word, he stores it away, and can use in the same context in the future, but novel vocabulary is a problem.  He often "mishears" words, but ENT says his hearing is now fine (after a long history of ear infections and tubes).  What were the signs of "auditory dyslexia" for your child? [/quote]
