They are Dyslexic. They have current IEPs in Nebraska where they were extensively tested about 10 months ago. We moved to Louisiana and the SpEd department told me a few curious things. A.) Dyslexic students in this school district are all on 504s. B.) &#8220;According to Louisiana state law&#8221; Dyslexics do NOT receive IEPs because they have a couple of &#8220;Dyslexia laws&#8221; and their laws trump IDEA C.)Their IEP from Nebraska isn&#8217;t valid because they (Nebraska) use a different method for determining the presence of a SLD. D.) I was also told I cannot even request and IEP over a 504.<\/p>\n<p>I was under the impression that parents had a choice. They\u2019re implementing RTI in the form of &#8220;Interim Placement&#8221; instead of scheduling for them to be tested, saying, &#8220;They&#8217;ll get them tested.&#8221; I requested the official form to initiate child find but they seem to have NO IDEA what I&#8217;m talking about.<\/p>\n<p>I know that SO MUCH of this is just plain wrong but I don&#8217;t know where to start addressing it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samantha:\u00a0 My 2 oldest daughters are 8 and 10. They are Dyslexic.
