Special Education and PAUSD Schools & Kids, posted by Parent of middle schooler with Dyslexia, a resident of the Duveneck/St. Francis neighborhood, on Nov 8, 2006 at 7:21 pm
Our child has Dyslexia and has an IEP at Jordan Middle School. I have been less than impressed with the way things have been handled. It is hard to tell whether other families are having issues as well. So I’m asking: How has your child done in Middle School / High school in regard to resources and can you offer any helpful suggestions?

Many parents are quite shocked by the differences between the resource programs in elementary and secondary school. If you're looking for help with a particular problem or just want to talk to someone who understands, call the CAC for Special Education's hotline at 494-3712.

Morrissey/Compton Education Center has a trained and very helpful group of psychologists and educational specialists. They work closely with the parents and the child to do educational assessments. They have talented people on staff who can then work with the parents and the school to get an effective Individual Education Plan (IEP) in place.
