[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS employee here--I don't blame parents for being super upset and angry. Unfortunately, many districts around the country operate this way. They don't give intensive intervention in grades k-2 and then eventually end up assessing for special education in grades 3-5 (if they even get to it then as there are so many vacant related service provider positions)--if it's purely a dyslexia issue. Behavior issues (plus learning) will get you evaluated earlier because you are disrupting everyone's learning and the teacher has more of an incentive to push the case forward. There needs to be a national message that parents take charge of their child's reading if problems emerge in kindergarten. Or a dramatic change in funding to increase early literacy efforts. [/quote] Frankly, there should be training programs open to the public. Then people can volunteer their time in low income settings. [/quote]
