My son is now in 6th grade and was held back a year. In second grade we had him transferred to a school that had a program called Texas Scottish Rites. They tested him and said he had STRONG dyslexic tendencies and he went through the two year program. He still struggles but I am told that MS does not recognize dyslexia as a learning disability so therefore they can not provide any accomodations for him. He is a very smart kid but his grades do not reflect that. My husband has had a job offer in Louisiana that we are strongly considering. I would like to find out how Louisiana public schools deal with Dyslexia. Do they recognize it as a learning disability and would he have a better opportunity for a level playing field if we do move. Can anyone tell me how to find this information?
