My daughter was just diagnosed with mild dyslexia (stealth dyslexia) through an outside practitioner. She is in MCPS third grade.
We are in the process of setting up a meeting with our school. We have recommendations from our evaluation, which includes Orton Gillingham structured literacy intervention, extended time for timed tests, multi sensory instruction, and some others.
I’m interested in hearing from parents who have kiddos with similar learning challenges and your experience with requests from your school. What accommodations have you requested that have been especially helpful.
If you are willing to share, which MCPS or private school has been a good fit for your child?
I’ve seen past posts recommending an ASDEC tutor. Any different with an Orton Gillingham certified tutor?
Also for those in middle and high school, have they been able to accommodate your student. I’m especially concerned as I know the amount of reading required is a lot in high school.
