Correct me if I am wrong....I have not been a resource compliance specialist/program specialist since 1999 (spent 20 years as a stay at home mom) but back then Deficits in spelling only did not qualify as a specific learning disability....needed more to get an IEP.

But immediate help should be available through MTI (multi tiered intervention).

Twenty to twenty five years ago I had great success with SRA programs such as spelling mastery and spelling through morphographs.
