[QUOTE="Christy, post: 299324, member: 225"] Dyslexia can fit under learning disabled although as a reading intervention teacher who taught a program for dyslexic children in our school system, I would say that only about a third of my students were in special education. This program was a multi-sensory, sequential phonics program based on the Orton Gillingham method, as Aeroeng can attest, this method of teaching yields excellent results in teaching dyslexic student to read. I started working with my students in second grade and continued with them until fourth or fifth grade and it is amazing the progress they've made. As far as qualifying for sped services, I will say that our school system is purposely evasive. We use a phonological screening evaluation for students that are referred to the program by their teachers. We then share the results at a meeting with the parents and decide if the program is a good fit. If the parent asks if their child is dyslexic, we are told to say that the testing indicates many characteristic of dyslexia but we are not qualified to diagnose dyslexia. [/QUOTE]
