My daughter is a gifted dyslexic. Her school claims dyslexia is not a covered condition. None of the teachers know how to recognize it or assist her. They denied her an IEP and ignored her severe discrepancies. This is unacceptable. I trained myself on everything, helped her, and now she is the top 25%... but what about all the other kids being ignored that don't have MIT grads for parents? Clearly, the right interventions work. It is discrimination not to employ them.

Unfortunately our universities are not teaching our teachers (gen ed, special ed, reading specialists) or administrators about what dyslexia is, how to identify a student with dyslexia or what to do to help them. These students are capable of learning, but they are not being identified or provided the right type of remediation. They are left to struggle everyday in their class. They are left to feel they are the problem. They deserve the right to learn. These students deserve FAPE like any other student. Parents are pleading for help, but are often met with blank stares from school staff about what to do.
It is time for this to change. The literacy demands of our culture are getting greater and greater all the time. These students need to learn how to function in our culture or they will not be able to get a decent job, support their families as adults and contribute to society to their full potential.
It is time to act, not just with words, but with enforceable legislation.

This is unacceptable and shameful!

These teachers accept and believe that they will not be able to appropriately reach and teach 6 of 30 students. They believe that if they are able to reach and teach 80% of their students, then they have done a good job. They have accepted that 20% of their students are collateral damage in order to allow the 80% to thrive.

These teachers somehow justified that not all children can flourish, and they get to choose who those six children will be that won't make the cut.

Whoever made up the 80/20 Rule, should be re-educated or fired!

Paying out of pocket can cost $1000 or more and insurance does not cover, so many kids, 1 in 5 will go undiagnosed, with no intervention!

It changed my life... The next year, I was put in the Talented And Gifted program at school and had a 3.5-4.0 grade point average from then on, all the way through, until I graduated college.

Makes a child more confident and ready to move out and trust his intelligence. As a teacher that also used to teach Sensory Integration, you can see how important giving every student the opportunity to achieve their full purpose in life. Have the opportunity to explore subjects that if they didn't have the testing and the tutoring would not be able to complete. This give every student the optimal opportunity of achieving academically as a higher.

My son has already reached the right reading level and enjoys reading for pleasure. If only California schools had offered it, we would not have to pay out of pocket for tutoring on top of private school to keep him from being one of the 20% children left behind. Dyslexic students don't need psychologists, general resource time outside of class, and IEP's - they just need the right tutoring in pull-out sessions!
