[quote=Anonymous]21:42 here.  PP, I am appreciative of your perspective as a former teacher.

22:37:  I advise parents to put their focus and resources into good private tutoring.  (Not Sylvan, etc.  - but with a tutor who really knows and specializes in dyslexia using an Orton-Gillingham based method.)

I can't tell you how many parents I have worked with who have put so much money into educational consultants to fight for years to get county services...only to realize years later that those services were not worth anything.  Indeed, the services offered often make the situation worse.  What is most disturbing is the psychological impact this has on children.  Many dyslexic children are incredibly bright...yet because of the wrong services and misunderstanding in schools, they think they are dumb.

Please don't wait for FCPS to make the necessary changes.  Just focus on helping your child in whatever way you can.  The most you can hope for from FCPS is good accommodations, and hopefully an understanding teacher.    [/quote]
