[quote=Anonymous]I would call ASDEC.org, Lab School, or look on-line at interdys.org for providers.  It sounds like you will need someone with specialized training.  A good dyslexia specialist will have training in addressing executive function issues as well as follow a multi-sensory program for language remediation.  ASDEC also has math training (which is used by Lab School).  Don't be surprised if tutors recommend 90 minute sessions 3x per week minimum with 60 minutes devoted to language remediation and 30 minutes devoted to writing / study skills / homework organization.  Since your DC is still in middle school and has an IEP, you may be able to negotiate with the school that his tutoring time counts as language arts time for social studies and English. You are correct that DC needs time for passions and these cannot be neglected.  If the school will allow a provider to come in during the day, for example in place of a foreign language, you would be way ahead.  Most public schools are resistant to this idea, however. [/quote]
