[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We chose Siena for our mildly dyslexic DC because doing intensive tutoring after school was exhausting for them and didn’t leave time for extracurriculars in their areas of strength. DC has greatly benefited from reading instruction built into the school day. The students I’ve seen who require additional tutoring seem to have more significant deficits. DC has also learned self-advocacy skills and assistive technology. Just being around other dyslexic students and understanding better how their brain works—challenges and strengths—has been really great. School isn’t perfect but I’m glad we’ve been able to send DC there.[/quote] This reflects our Siena experience as well. We did not have to get a reading tutor in addition to the reading instruction provided by Siena. I would add that writing and spelling and handwriting instruction were also really critical for DS, and Siena provided this in a way that public school did not. [/quote]
