I had team meetings two to three times per year with evaluations that revealed "no discrepancy" but KNEW there was an underlying dyslexia-like [dis]ability. After reading SEVERAL books on dyslexia and learning difficulties, I removed her from public school and began homeschooling her with an eclectic approach. I found that just because the school doesn't find a discrepancy, it doesn't mean that there isn't one. It is a shame that a child will be "left behind" if they do not fit into a predetermined mold. There are many resources available to parents who choose to keep their children in public schools who can fight for what the child needs, depending on the state in which the child attends school. Good luck and be thankful that your child has parents that are willing to help her succeed!! I, too, have a daughter who fell behind tremendously.
