Anyone that can help me would be more than awesome. I just had my daughter tested for dyslexia. Not only does she have it but in it's most severe form. Her IQ is great. She is in 5th grade and her reading level is less than 2.0. she is in Special Ed. and she has an IEP. along with the testing I am getting a professional IEP done. the thing is I live in a rural area. No one here has ever taught a child with dyslexia. I have searched on the net for some course to teach me. The thing is I never graduated or received my GED. I can't find anything that doesn't require me to not have those. I am about in tears. I am willing to do anything to help her. she cannot do her work in class. Not at all. she has learned some tricks but they only get her so far. Her spelling is really bad. they keep like ignoring the fact that she can't do the work. she has been in spec ed for 5 years now and nothing has changed. I am getting ready for battle and have read everything I can and continue to do so. So that I can make sure my district understands that I will not just go away. So far I am the only parent in town with a dyslexic child. That is how ignored it is. Anyone if they know of any courses for parents or anything to help me. that would be great. Also what should have her teacher so with all of her work till I get the IEP. thank You and this is my first message so If i have done something wrong please let me know. lol
