[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We like option #2. I have difficulty gauging the severity but our child is nearing grade level with frequent, intensive one-one tutoring outside of school. This is clearly the most costly option but I prefer it for now as the child does not seem to require a specialized school and is attached to the school. It would never work without the intensive tutoring.

I think for many families you have to try one of the options and test it out before you know for sure. That’s not easy, I know! Good luck! [/quote]

I'm soooo confused by this. You say your child doesn't need a specialized school, but does require "frequent, intensive one-on-one tutoring" and "It would never work without the intensive tutoring". Frankly it sounds like your child is EXACTLY who should be attending a specialized school. I'm bemused by how you don't seem to see that. [/quote]

As other posters have noted, there are real world trade offs to being at a specialized school. This may include a lack of challenge or smaller school. I don’t think you understand dyslexia, but that’s fine, many people do not. The tutoring is solely for decoding in reading and it is the standard approach for Ortho-Gillingham to have multiple sessions per week. It works quite well if you catch it early. The child is able to do all of their schoolwork independently and is advanced in math. The learning profiles of kids can be varied. [/quote]
