[quote=Anonymous]Maybe try posting in the private schools forum and see if you get more hits?

You could also create a form email and email all the schools you are looking at. Start by asking if they have a resource program and whether the resource is trained in Orton-Gillingham. That might whittle the list down some.

In my experience with the Catholic schools in ADW in MoCo, the schools better prepared to serve kids with dyslexia will have admissions people and a principal who will tell you point blank whether they think they can serve these kids or not. If they say yes, probe more regarding accommodations and resource services. But the “no” answers will also help you whittle down the list. Also, the better Catholic schools for SN sometimes seem to be the smaller or less popular ones. The popular schools can have a one size fits all approach.

Our school in MoCo has been great. The Catholic curriculum is generally a good fit for these kids. Still, we have supplemented with tutoring or EF support of one kind or another most years. But that supplementation was 3-4x per week in public school and it is 1x per week in Catholic school. It has been a decent but imperfect solution. I doubt that it compares to Oakwood which looks marvelous from the outside….
