[quote=Anonymous]This is such a hard call and something we are thinking about. Currently leaning towards a Catholic school with a strong support program (ie teachers trained in OG) and may add additional tutoring if needed.s only 3 and we have time to figure it out and hopefully she won’t need the support.

I am dyslexic and thinking back about the experience of me and my friends (I went to a special camp for kids with learning disabilities) I think there are pros and cons to each of the options you listed (except none of my friends did public school with just an IEP, they also had tutors for what it’s worth). The sad truth is every option is expensive, and finding the perfect combination is difficult.

My recommendation would be to have your child evaluated by a psychologist that specializes in learning issues and discuss the options with them. That was useful for my parents when I was young and ultimately led us down option #2 with the psychologist helping my parents identify the right private school to meet my needs. Now that was supplemented by YEARS of tutoring and special programs, however by middle school I was on track with some accommodations.

My only complaint with my private school was as I got older, they had a hard time providing me with the appropriate level of support and challenge (essentially it felt like they did not know how to serve a bright kid with a learning disability). [/quote]
