[quote=Anonymous]APS tried very very hard to challenge my son’s dyslexia diagnosis. Kept telling us that boys his age are just slow to pick up reading sometimes. I found it monstrous. My understanding is that the reception parents/students receive varies by school. We decided to put him in a specialized school rather than continue to have teachers be ok with the fact that he couldn’t write a sentence and his decoding skills were in the bottom 5th percentile. Parents need to advocate, but they also need to be realistic about the level of remediation APS can actually achieve, even with a solid IEP in place. I was mad at APS, sure, but being repelled from the system was the best thing that could have happened to us in the end.[/quote]
