[quote=Anonymous]Lab school was once gold standard…a long time ago.  What is sticker price these days?  80,000?

I recommended Jemicy because it truly follows the science (top dyslexic researcher from Georgetown on their board) and comes at more reasonable tuition.

You could easily have said Sienna as well but you didn’t.  DCUM keep on keeping on….

But I can’t let the lies of omission on dyscalculia stand.  Caution.  I repeat there is no Orton-Gillingham for math.  Caveat Emptor.

If you would like to give to the cause (we are basically in the 1920s in terms of research in dyscalculia) please consider supporting The Journal of Numerical Cognition!

ASDEC is fabulous - but its math program has little to no science behind it (simply takes a multi sensory approach that works for reading to math.  Unproven.). It’s better than nothing I suppose but not by much.

Ray Cohen Kadosh at Oxford’s proved some effect with small electrical stimulation to left parietal side of brain before tests suspended now a decade ago given the history of shock therapy.  Also small sample size, unfortunately)
