Hi
I suspect there's hardly a Disability/Dyslexia Coordinator on this list who couldn't easily
identify 5, 6 or more students who have been failed by the system in the way reported.
Given the precedents set, how much could it cost the LEAs/government/taxpayer if even
10% of those affected were to get litigious? Frightening!
Regards
