[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 86994, member: 23"] Hi MidwestMom If you're daughter is overwhelmed in her new placement, in the interim I'd try to get her back to the Learning Disability (LD) class. You mention receptive language, spelling and reading difficulties. Sounds like maybe "language-based" disabilities rather than. Does her IEP target language therapy at her specific weaknesses? If not, it should in my opinion. Dyslexia tends to involve phonics and word attack skills. Because my son's problems do not involve these skills, he is not classified as dyslexic; rather his reading problems involve multiple language impairments. If it's been a while since your daughter was evaluated, it might be prudent to have her re-evaluated to see where she is, what other factors may be contributing to the problem (sequencing, working memory, et al), and the best way to remediate and accommodate based on her individual needs. The Learning Disability (LD) class you mention may be just what she needs -- I don't know. But I do know that sd's are prone to removing special needs students from one pre-designed curriculum and placing them in another "one-size fits all" environment. If this is the case for your daughter, comparing new evaluation data to prior evaluations should be helpful in deciding whether the Learning Disability (LD) class is appropriate to her needs or whether something like language therapy needs to be added.
