[quote=Anonymous]Our child also has dyslexia, though co-morbid with ADHD, inattentive. She's very bright though, social, and good in math. We toured Siena, McLean, Lab, and ultimately chose McLean. While I know Siena's only focus is on dyslexia (and it was a strong contender for us), we felt that it was 1. too small 2. too narrowly focused on dyslexia and our daughter needed to be around a population of learners that didn't ALL just have challenges with reading. We also found McLean to have students that just thrived in a smaller environment and didn't necesarily have a learning challenge. For us, they've done wonders for her reading. She's confident, doesn't feel stigmatized (which for us started in 4th grade), and isn't spending hours after the school day doing tutoring. I would honestly just start to tour schools and get a sense of things. [/quote]
