[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 185668, member: 1233"] What exactly did her IEP help with?? Surely, after a few weeks the teacher had to know she was missing assignments. Did they call you? LEt you know? Brainstorm with you ways to help her get the work turned in?? Does she have oral tests? A child iwth dyslexia may not be ABLE to take a multiple choice test - even in COLLEGE. I worked with a person who had MILD dyslexia. She was a straight A student but ONLY because she memorized everything given orally and she had longer to take her tests. She HATED multiple choice tests because she could not always tell if b and d were teh same on teh answer sheet as on the test. I think your daughter's failure is probably at least equally the school and teacher's fault. I am NOT saying she will be successful in 5th this year, I don't know. But you need an IEP with some real accomodations. Please check in on the Special Education forum and let them know what is going on. And get an IEP meeting - YOU can call one - to put some real help into place for your daughter. I am sorry. I know this is stressful. [/QUOTE]
