[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think ASDEC will require you to start at the beginning level. Which will be a tough sell for your child.

In terms of writing/ spelling, our experience is writing content is limited because child is not confident in ability to spell and use higher level vocabulary. Mechanics have improved a lot in middle school but content is somewhat lower level due to difficulties with spelling. While speech to text sounds like a good accommodation, we have noticed since most writing occurs in school that is not used willingly.

We have decided to look at a specialized school for high school because I believe that is the difference in my child attending college or not. The focus is on all of these skills and support through the college testing/ application and essay process.

My child was similar in that by 7th grade thought the reading was remediated and doesn’t need to work on it any longer. So we aren’t pushing it but as I said, we hope to get continued remediation at a specialized school. [/quote]

Yes, it sounds like kid will need to start at the beginning level, but hopefully can zip through the first part.

We are going to try to find a sounds in syllables tutor and see what we can get done - kid begrudgingly said they will try it (with big reward). They did acknowledge that they could improve spelling.
