[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has dyslexia which has been remediated. Tests in gifted range for verbal and visual-spatial, struggles in math. Any thoughts on our list of schools to explore? We’re looking for a unicorn school with faculty and staff who understand that you can be bright AND have dyslexia.

Have 2e DS with remediated dyslexia - would focus on what the accommodations or needs your kid has and then explore with the schools. They are different for different factors. Some schools and even teachers within the different schools don’t “get” that it takes some kids with dyslexia longer to read or spells some types of words wrong etc but  that doesn’t mean they are a “slow” reader at all in terms of comprehension, associative thinking etc. and if they are exceptional in those areas they actually top at those. It’s defies stereotypes many have - even if they are in academic support. 
For math issues - consider if the struggles are organizational and planning or comprehension or both. This past year, had to keep going into a school which is generally good at support but not getting need for continuing options for graphing math and some other types of dyslexia impacted areas. 
Have heard the best things lately about Bullis, Good Counsel and for girls Holy Child related to LD supports in high school that are HS appropriate. [/quote]
