The Inside Scoop: Community Forum
Inquiring minds want to know!

Welcome to YCDC's "Inside Scoop", a place where you can gain insights from others in the dyslexia community and share your experiences. Tell us about what reading programs worked for you, your child, or your students. Pose a question to the community; tell us about schools using thoughtful and effective methods for supporting dyslexic students; tell us about places and programs that might be overrated. We hope that postings will be constructive and helpful to others. We reserve the right to remove material. We will not post contact information, but ask that you leave your email address. The Center may wish to follow up to learn more.

If the school refuses to test, get an advocate. Call your state department of education. If you have health insurance, have it done yourself--do not wait.

My child has been in special ed. for five years. When I obtained some legal help this year, the school system finally started giving her systematic, intensive research based reading help and they paid for an evaluation.

Get an attorney, get an evaluation (pay for it on your own if you must), do it. Don't wait.
