[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me reading this, it’s seems that many kids are neglected by the public school system (not qualify for support) and don’t get access to private schools due to cost and availability issues. My work would cover most likely school fees up to 43,000 per year but that wouldn’t be enough to cover expenses. I have heard that poorly conducted assessments as part of IEP, ignorance of impact etc affect kids eligibility. I also think it’s absurd that in DC there are 3rd graders that don’t know how to read and write and this is considered normal? My son has letter and number reversal, letter spacing issues and spelling issues and recommended by the school OT to get multi sensory support. Can be included into RTI or 504 but guess what - school doesn’t have OT! Basic right of education for kids school that have neuropsychological differences are left to struggle. Sad. [/quote] The reading issues you've described sound like dyslexia. You need a neuropsych and OG tutoring. Not OT. [/quote]
