For those of you who have been praying for Tyler, I would like to give you an update on the ARD meeting that occured on Tuesday of this week. I've been preparing myself for a battle, but I left there feeling victorious!
His test results indicated that his learning disability is predominantly math oriented, so he will be receiving resource Math. His language scores were considerably better, some in the above average range. The only problem is his score in long term retrieval. This means he can read anything you put in front of him and spell amazingly; however, unless exposed repeatedly to the material he will not be able to recall anything about what he's read an hour later. For this reason he will receive content mastery for anything his teachers feel he is struggling with.
Now hold on...here's the BEST news ever...he will be taking the TAKS accomodated math test and the reading modified which will be administered one on one with multiple breaks and he can use tools such as the multiplication chart while testing. THIS IS HUGE!
This is what I've been praying for. I really felt like everyone is playing on the same team...helping Tyler succeed! The vice principal at Tyler's school is going through the same struggle for her child and is very empathetic. It is a frustrating process, but I feel like we really have some tools in place for Tyler and now we will see if it's enough. I believe it will be. Stay tuned. Peace~
