[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our experience, no. My DC with those diagnoses has been there since 4th grade and has not made much academic progress at all, and the middle school environment is much worse than that of our local public school. [/quote]

I am not trying to invalidate your experience, but I would note that, especially in grades 4-7, having scores flatline might well be progress because your student didn't fall behind. Metacognition and increasingly sophisticated questions are what this age group is all about, and many neurotypical, nondyslexic kids' grades slip and slip until they figure out what middle-school work looks like. So it may be that your student is doing better than you think. At least, I hope that for you.

I think the hope in sending a child to a school like Siena is that they will go from X number of grades behind in reading to closer to grade level or on grade level. Siena doesn't admit kids who are more than 2 grade levels behind (unlike Lab and Chelsea), so one would hope they would be able to help them.[/quote]
