[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is unfortunate that the neuropsychologist and/or parents came to the conclusion that a specialized school for dyslexia would have been "overkill." These are parents who could afford such a school and whose child might have really thrived at such a school. I know a family who sent one child to such a school and their DC was quite intelligent and capable. Their DC benefited from it immensely and was able to succeed at a mainstream school later on. I have another friend who is also concerned about sending her kid a specialized school for the same reason as the parents in the article--that the other kids at the school are worse off than her DC. So even parents of non-neurotypical kids are often concerned about a school environment where their kids might be more capable than the other kids. I wonder if this concern might prevent lots of kids from getting the targeted intervention they need.[/quote]

This is a common, sometimes misguided concern — Siena School for example has a high percentage of twice exceptional students[/quote]
