[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just know that you will need to do outside tutoring. What the school provides will not be enough. They will not use the correct programs. Your DC should be getting tutoring 5 days a week. That is the advantage of Siena School or Lab.
Also, dyslexia deficits tend to get more pronounced as you get to middle school because the work is harder.[/quote]

19:55 here. Agree with the tutoring. DC had 2x/week tutoring for years, as well as summer school at Lab.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you! She already meets with an OG tutor once a week and is in a phonics intervention group at school. The neuropsych recommended increasing the tutoring frequency, so we will be asking the school for that.

Thanks for the rec about summer school at Lab — I will definitely look into that![/quote]

You should do four one hour OG sessions per week.[/quote]

Thanks — we are pushing for every day, as that’s what the neuropsych asked for.[/quote]

As you know, private schools aren't under any obligation to follow the neuropsych recommendations, so you might need to hire a tutor on your own.[/quote]

Just to add. This is only meant to be helpful not badgering like the above odd 2E poster.

The four hours per week is usually only accomplished with a private tutor and not by school staff. Unless it is Siena or lab school, the school staff often do not have sufficient training or experience in OG.

As for the 2E, just ignore that poster. That is not for them to question. These children are not easy to support, just do your best. There are good people on this board who will want to try to help you.[/quote]
