I have a teen in 11th grade with an IEP whose school states that her "written expression disorder does not impact her access to the curriculum." They agree that she struggles with organizing her ideas and getting her ideas down on paper so she can't complete homework or in-class essays.

I have tried everything and need help.

I am a mother of an 11 year old daughter who is currently in 6th grade and has an IEP. I wonder if traditional public schooling is the best and/or only option I have for her? The IEP team is urging that my daughter be placed into Special Education class for Math and English in junior high for next year. I can not believe that this would be the best option for her. She has no behavioral problems. Thus far, with the small group intervention and workload modification her IEP has provided, she still can not complete academic tasks successfully on her own.

I am interested in finding out about testing to determine if a child might be dyslexic. My grandson is seven years old and has been receiving speech services for five years for apraxia and dysarthria. He has slower process speed due to a congenital brain malformation. He is in second grade and seems to be lagging on reading skills in spite of Title 1 reading support. Can you please provide me specific recommendations about how to have him tested?
