[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a special ed lawyer. When a parent calls my office with a diagnosis of dyslexia, more than nine times out of ten that parent is upper middle class.[/quote]

What is your point?

My assumption is that this is true because only the parents who can afford evaluations know that their children have dyslexia.

Also as a pp has tried to explain, public schools don't diagnose students. [/quote]

PP is a lawyer. Poor and middle class people know they can't afford lawyers. Of course the people calling are upper middle class, they're they only ones who can afford to litigate. A middle class family may stretch for an advocate, but that's it [/quote]

PP lawyer. We work on fee shifting, so that's not an issue.[/quote]

Sure. How many cases have you litigated with middle class clients? You can fee shift all you want, once you exhaust the appeals process, court is not for the middle class. The school systems know it and parents know it [/quote]
