My son has dyslexia and is in 3rd grade and not moving up in reading level despite having an IEP. I am getting worried he does not have the right support, and I'm not sure where to start. Hoping you might have some guidance?
Arizona has a literacy goal that 72% of third graders will read proficiently by 2030, but they are far from that with less than 40% of Arizona third graders reading proficiently in 2024.
How do I best support my students with dyslexia during this time of social distancing during COVID-19?
I have a teen who has dyslexia and has an IEP in public school. My child is getting straight A's and B's in all classes, except for Spanish. I am struggling with the school to implement the correct accommodations for Spanish, as well as to provide my son with the accommodations that are in his IEP. I am looking to get some ideas for other accommodations to make him successful to at least get a C in the class. He gets all A's on his coursework but fails every single assessment.
I support the special education teachers and students in our county. I am trying to learn more about dyslexia so we can improve our instructional practices. The question I am not finding answers to is what format for testing academic areas is the best for students with dyslexia. Our general education teachers are willing to change the way they currently test to accommodate our needs, but I am not sure what the best method is.
My son, a junior in high school, was just diagnosed with dyslexia. He was diagnosed with dysgraphia in first grade and we thought that was the reason for his inability to spell, poor handwriting, and slow reading. What do we do now? Is intervention too late? Any suggestions would be helpful, especially for college.
Our homeschooled daughter has dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADD, working memory and executive functioning challenges. Now she is a 9th grader and we need to start considering accommodations for high stakes testing. Do you have experience with obtaining accommodations for children with learning differences that are homeschooled? If you have any idea of where we might start to address this issue it would be sincerely appreciated.
I have reasons to believe my daughter may be dyslexic, and I don't know where to start. She goes to a very good school system, but they are known for not helping people with special learning needs. I am trying to know my rights and what exactly I can fight for. Do you have any suggestions for me? Is the school responsible for testing if I express concern? Is a language-based learning disability recognized by public schools? I will do whatever it takes to get her help.
My son is 13 years old. He recently had a psycho-educational assessment, which showed he is severely dyslexic. Navigating all the different intervention programs has been challenging. The psychologist suggested an intensive program, but locally there are very little resources. I have looked at the Rewards and Language Live program and am more inclined to the Language Live program. Considering his age, any help would be greatly appreciated.
We recently found out that my 2nd grade son has dyslexia. We are currently trying to figure out the right next steps for him and his education. He is a very determined kid and does like playing learning games on the IPad. I was wondering which of the blended learning programs (e.g. Lexia, Barton, etc.) might be good for him to use or if there was another set of apps that would be helpful for him to spend time on in the evening?
