[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question really is what is wrong with the school that they haven’t caught it?  My dyslexic kid went to 4th grade unable to really read.  Every year from k-3, I went to the school and expressed concern and they told me she was fine.  She only got help when I found $4k to have an assessment done privately.

My other kid was diagnosed with so-called stealth dyslexia after junior year of high school.  She is incredibly bright and faked it through FCPS AAP without anyone knowing.

Why do you assume the school hasn't flagged it? I'm a teacher and I cannot tell you how many former students I have whose parents have not agreed to the findings of the IEP team. [/quote]

I’m a child psychiatrist, and I can’t tell you how many teachers I have talked to who aren’t even aware that a child has an IEP, much less read it.  
Sometimes I think I spend more time dealing with a broken educational system than I do actually diagnosing and treating mental illness.  [/quote]
