[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 298697, member: 3493"] Dyslexia per se is not a sped diagnosis. However, my easy child son's only issue is pure dyslexia and he has been classified as Learning Disability (LD) since first grade and he is now entering 8th grade. My son has no behavioral or emotional or physical issues; he is textbook dyslexic. The word Dyslexia has never appeared on his IEP - it's Learning Disability (LD) all the way. He was given reading instruction with Orton Gillingham and then Wilson. He currently attends a non-public school for Learning Disability (LD) kids and reads above grade level. He is one of the few kids that does not get either remedial math or reading. I attribute that to getting proper reading instruction for him when he was young. My son's former elementary school was so impressed by how well he learned to read that they actually incorporated some of the Wilson and O-G techniques into regular reading (like teaching kids in K to tap out the sounds). The kid to dyslexia, assuming that is all there is, is to get reading instruction asap. Do NOT agree to Reading Recovery as studies have shown it can be deleterious to the dyslexic child. Also, always remember that dyslexics (and I am not one) are exceptionally bright, creative and able to remediate if given the proper tools. [/QUOTE]
