We had a meeting with Gracie's school today to discuss accomodations in the classroom to help her in school. They include things such as: extra time to do an assignment, advanced notification of the literature so we can get them on CD, writing grades based on content not on spelling, etc.
Sometimes schools can push back on these because it takes time to implement. However, we got no push back at all! They happily included all our requests and even asked for additional information on some of our resources such as the Reading for the Blind and Dyslexic.
I also provided a book (Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz to Gracie's teacher for 3rd grade) and a summary of Gracie's history.
So we are all set for next year. I have layed the ground work for a good year.
