[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question really is what is wrong with the school that they haven’t caught it?  My dyslexic kid went to 4th grade unable to really read.  Every year from k-3, I went to the school and expressed concern and they told me she was fine.  She only got help when I found $4k to have an assessment done privately.

My other kid was diagnosed with so-called stealth dyslexia after junior year of high school.  She is incredibly bright and faked it through FCPS AAP without anyone knowing.

Why do you assume the school hasn't flagged it? I'm a teacher and I cannot tell you how many former students I have whose parents have not agreed to the findings of the IEP team. [/quote]

I’m a child psychiatrist, and I can’t tell you how many teachers I have talked to who aren’t even aware that a child has an IEP, much less read it.  
Sometimes I think I spend more time dealing with a broken educational system than I do actually diagnosing and treating mental illness.  [/quote]

That is the fault of the IEP chairperson. It's his/her job to give copies of each IEP/504 plan to teachers. We have to sign that we received a copy and reviewed it.[/quote]

The teachers may sign but still ignore it.  You are probably a good teacher who cares about her students.  I wish they were all like you.  Some teacher the IEPs and seem to have a chip on their shoulders about them.  They think they are giving the LD kid an advantage and it’s not fair.  It’s so bizarre to me that they don’t get that it is what the LD kid needs to access the curriculum, which is a pretty basic standard.  I’d much rather have a neuroptypical kid who doesn’t get the “advantages.”[/quote]
