OP haven't read all the responses, but I agree with what I read so far. You should not expect more than a years progress, but sure it can happen.

So many factors go in to predicting progress outside of school variables (like teacher training and quality). These factors include: Child's IQ, aptitude, diagnosis and whether everyone is using a program geared toward the issue like, for example, dyslexia (of course I guess this falls into school issue category together with any tutoring you get), attention span, memory, child attitude toward learning, support and follow through at home if needed, etc.

You can appropriate interventions and still not be caught up to grade level. It all depends on how severe the LD is. My dyslexic kid is several years behind in reading level and we go to a SN school.

Perhaps try different interventions. I have severe NVLD.

The dyslexia is what it is; there are many kids who aren't at grade level. We're not alone in this.

(FYI, NVLD isn't in the DSM any longer. It's categorized under autism currently.)
