My daugter is dyslexic and ADHA. She currently has an IEP plan at her school, but she isn't making enough progress. During the conference I had earlier this week with her first grade teacher, she informs me that I should give a lot of thought to holding my daughter back and not allowing her to proceed to the second grade. Although, given her recent evaluations this seems like the appropraite thing to do, I just can't bring myself to it. I have another daughter in Kindergarten who will be advanced to first grade next year. I cannot allow them to be at the same grade level. My daughter with dyslexia is already developing issues with her self confidence, I think having them at the same grade level would only increase the negativity. SO, what I have done is submitted an application to a local private school that uses the orton gillingham approach and comes by highly recommended. The issue at hand, other than praying she will be allotted a spot, is how on earth to pay for it. What options are there? Are there any education grants available for children in elementary with dyslexia? Anything? I don't know what to do at this point! Suggestions please!
