[quote=Anonymous]So parents need to be warned that mcps will not effectively evaluate for or intervene with dyslexia. If a child reaches age 10 without effective intervention it takes 4x as long to intervene. By age 12, the window for learning to read is mostly closed as the brain is much less malleable. The wait to fail approach in mcps...where kids are not evaluated until they are 1 or more grade levels behind (and then not given systematic intervention once they are) is creating a generation of illiteracy. MCPS does not have enough school psychologists to do the evaluations and they do not have enough special educators to then do research-based interventions, for which there is no district wide adopted approach.
