There are two acronyms I want you to memorize. FAPE and IDEA.

FAPE is Free Appropriate Publication Education and IDEA is Individuals with Disabilities Act.

The schools is required by law to provide an appropriate education for every kid in country. Request in witting to have you child assessed for a learning disability. They are required to provide one within 30 days. Hire an attorney who specializes in the area of education or a advocate and hold the schools feet to the fire. A child with a learning entitled to an IEP (Individual Education Plan). That means they have to remediate your daughters dyslexia in the least restrictive environment. If you do not know how to work the system the school will screw your child. You will be dealing with this for a long time and you need to learn how to advocate for you child.

Good luck, Kurt
