On the parenting board I posted most of the results of my brothers independent eval results. Basically they say he has dysgraphia, severe dyslexia, CAPD (or APD, depending on who you talk too!) and has not phonemic decoding skills.
This is his first year at a new school. He is a freshmen at a vocational high school. The do not have any reading program, since they do not feel high school is the place for remediation. He attends a reading class during his two weeks of academic classes. He really isn’t learning how to read or decode. It is basically reading pictures books, grammar and language, it sounds like a second English class.
How do I get the new school to give him reading program when they feel it was old school district failure? He is also supposed to get speech and language once a week for 30 minutes which for his severe speech/lang issues will be completely inaffective. By the way, this is second month of school and he has not had one speech and language sessions. That is approximately six weeks.
HELP!! I use the phonographix with my son and think my brother would benefit from it greatly but hearing it from me is useles. I need someone else to tell him!!
