Some parents are forced to live separately to avoid constantly moving a child in special education. Some spouses are not aware they are being sent to a place that doesn\u2019t have services or can\u2019t handle the child\u2019s needs because often the service member either doesn\u2019t know any better or doesn\u2019t tell their spouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"231\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/thepromiseact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/hilary.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepromiseact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/hilary.png 231w, https:\/\/thepromiseact.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/hilary-171x300.png 171w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moving with Dyslexia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We were stationed in California, home to one of the worst dyslexia laws in the country.&nbsp;It doesn\u2019t include any mandated screenings, teacher certification, teacher instruction on dyslexia in teaching programs, nor does it require any mandated multi-sensory explicit instruction (Orton-Gillingham) for anyone who has dyslexia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time someone has to move the IEP process basically starts over. While the federal law requires a state to implement the IEP within 30 days as is or start the process over in the new state it is fairly common for a state and\/or district to try to remove services without notice.&nbsp;We know this is illegal, but it happens to parents who are not aware of the law. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can you trust your gut when it comes to diagnosing dyslexia?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":774,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[82,22,75],"tags":[12,58,27,74],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.12 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Can You Trust Your Gut When It Comes to Dyslexia? - The PROMISE Act<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Can You Trust Your Gut when It Comes to Dyslexia?
