Based on the CCTOP the school says he does not meet the school's definition for dyslexia. I think we are headed for a 504 with modifications and no services unless he qualifies for a Tier II reading group. I can ask for an assessment under Special Ed., but I have heard that his school's special ed program does not serve 2e children very well. They don't seem to know what to do with them.
The dysgraphia is where he has the large discrepancies. His handwriting is terrible and he struggles with output. I have been working with him at home at composing on the computer and he is doing better. The Speech Pathologist says that an underlying weakness in his language skills are the problem as well as slow word retrieval. He had severely delayed language acquisition followed by an articulation disorder.
He is starting speech language therapy and Interactive Metronome has been recommended. Any comments about IM?
