I have a daughter who has been struggling with reading for awhile now. Sight words are still a struggle for her and she is continuing to reverse numbers and words both while reading and writing. My husband is dyslexic. I didn't know if it was hereditary or not. I keep bringing it up at her school but I keep getting a simple answer of “we are keeping an eye on it.” I feel like we are beyond that point and she needs more intervention. What are the steps in Michigan to get your child evaluated?

Hi, I am a mom of a 10-year-old fifth-grade girl who has been diagnosed with dyslexia. We have known since kindergarten that there were learning challenges and have successfully intervened with tutoring over the years. While she is slower with her work, she is able to work at grade level in most areas. This school year her teacher began telling her, in front of me, that accommodations would make her future in middle school harder for her and that they would not benefit hritten assignments, using Bookshare, and various apps on her school-issued iPad). The problem now is that she is angry to be dyslexic because she doesn't like the fact that her teacher is treating her differently from her peers and discussing the accommodations in front of others. What is the best way to rebuild her self-image as a student?er.

My son was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia by outside professionals in 1st grade. In second grade the school conducted their own evaluation and placed him under special learning disability. He qualified for IEP and received some services in school. He is currently in 5th grade and the school is doing reevaluation test to see if he still has specific learning disability (at least that what the school psychologist explained to me). Obviously his dyslexia did not disappear, so I am now worried that if the school test will show that he is no longer qualifies they will take away his IEP. What would be my steps in case this happens? We live in CA.

I’m looking for guidance on the special education dispute process for my 7th-grade daughter in Wisconsin. She was diagnosed with dyslexia and a processing disorder in 3rd grade and had been making good progress with an IEP and support, especially after we sent her to Lindamood-Bell for intensive instruction. However, once she entered middle school and was assigned a new case manager, her IEP goals were ignored, and she started to struggle again. Despite my concerns and an outside evaluation confirming ongoing difficulties, the school dismissed her from special education and denied additional support. I’ve filed an IDEA complaint and am trying to understand what steps to take next.
