Pretty suredaughter is dyslexic. She is 7 yrs old. Waiting on results. Does she move to spec. class?

Please don't set your daughter up for failure. Dyslexia is a developmental disorder that affects a persons ability to recognize patterns, not a complete disability that will prevent her from functioning in other normal situations. Pulling her out of regular classes will just make her feel different in a bad way. What she'll need is supplemental classes and tutoring; not alternate classes.

People with developmental disorders are at high risk for self esteem issues if they're treated like there's something wrong with them.

She will have a very hard time with spelling and math, but only in the traditional sense. There are special ways for dyslexic people to learn math and phonics that bypass the disability without requiring "special ed".

The exception is that when she gets into middle/high school level math, such as algebra, you might consider a special math class simply because she will need each formula explained to her in depth and most public schools are overcrowded, so that kind of student care won't be available. If the classroom sizes are small enough, a tutor should be sufficient, so long as that tutor is one step ahead of the actual curriculum - that way when she goes to class she'll be able to follow along because it was already explained in a way that worked for her.

Until then, get her a specialized tutor and enroll her in after school programs designed to benefit her needs. What's important at her age is the building blocks. Give her a good, strong foundation and by the time she's an adult she'll have learned to live with her disability instead of being trained to think of herself as unable to succeed at a normal level.

If the school does not address the problem you may have to write to the Education authority and ask them to provide a statement of special needs. Some authorities are pretty good at this, but my child came from an area were we had to fight tooth and nail to get them to agree. Eventually after fighting with them for 4 years, we got the statement. IMPORTANT " a statement of special educational needs is a legal document and means that the authority must educate the child to a satisfactory level until the child is 19 if in full time education". I hope this helps. If you send for a copy of the Education Act (free) on the internet, it will explain this in more details. Good Luck, I wish your daughter well.
