Guest guest Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I have a friend who has children in Fulton County schools. Her son is almost 8 yrs old and can not read. He has had an IEP for two years, she doesn't know what they have diagnosed him as. He is receiving A's and being socially promoted, but still can not read. Does anyone know of someone who can diagnose learning disabilities?

Do they test the child to determine reading abilities and suggest a program? Do they provide direct reading services to the child? Has anyone had any experience with reading specialists in any of the public schools?Thanks for any input! Looking for a deal? Find great prices on flights and hotels with FareChase.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 FYI, a wonderful learning specialist: Rose Marie Raccioppi 172 Liberty Road Tappan, NY 10983 (845) 359-9056 Adam's new adventures Hello All, Adam is starting to take an interest in going to temple on Friday nights at my temple with me. We are starting to study for Adam's bar mitzvah. It starts with the first prayer for that is said before the reading of the Torah. I don't have the details or a date yet. He is just now starting to learn one of the prayers that is said before reading the torah, there are three, and maybe also some torah stories or readings. We are going very slowly at his own pace and will see if he can read one first phonically in english. The rabbi asked him if he had any questions to ask them. He made some observations that in hebrew you read the ords left to right, where were the vowels? He told the Rabbi that english is backwords and upsidedown. I couldn't stop laughing, how do you read the hebrew words to english? What does the prayers mean in english? The Rabbi is a very understanding guy saying that Adam will go to what he feels comfortable and there is no right or wrong on the amount of stuff he wants to read or say. If you don't feel comfortable knowing the tune you can also say it instead. Adam is also going to a new school in Sept that is more academic but has also has the help he needs to help him get closer to his grade level. It is a much different program than what he is used to ie more homework. He isn't very good in writing sentences to a small paragraph or knows his times tables that well. So it will be a challenge for all of us over the summer. I work with him every day. Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
