[quote=Anonymous]To make a long story short, we placed our child privately at the Siena School in 4th grade, after it became apparent that MCPS had no idea how to educate a dyslexic child. DC spent 2 years there, improved greatly both in terms of reading ability and in terms of sel-esteem and ability to self-advocate. DC was able to return to a public magnet program for middle school with an IEP. We provide some outside tutoring and support. Siena was a terrific choice for us. Student's prime need must be language learning disabilities - both reading and writing - but accepted students may have additional challenges like ADHD. Fourth grade is not too late. But move quickly to put all the instruction you can.[/quote]
