While parents may feel that government policy and the school are responsible for educating their dyslexic child, the truth is that the parents needs to realize that the responsibility rests on them. Parents can practice techniques at home, such as right-brained techniques, with their child to support the development of skills and abilities.
Parents also have to be a visible presence in schools. It is the parents’ job to advocate for their child at special education meetings, or simply with the classroom teacher. The parent can monitor a child’s progress and ask for more support services if necessary. If the school is allowed to have the sole responsibility of educating a dyslexic child, that opens up many opportunities for learning to fall by the wayside. It is essential that parents of dyslexic students teach them to stand up for what they need in the classroom.
You can advocate for your child – you can work with the school to make sure that they are providing the best education for your child.
