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.
