[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved our average IQ, profoundly dyslexic kid to Lab at that age and it's been exactly what he needed (he's now in the high school).  He won't ever be a fluent, grade level reader, but he's learned how to read well enough to get by, and maybe more importantly, he's learned how to use accommodations to keep up with a regular high school courseload.  My impression is that most of the kids are not as profoundly dyslexic as he is and he probably struggles more academically than many of them, but it's a supportive environment where he feels comfortable and capable as a learner, which is pretty extraordinary given his learning challenges.  The tuition is brutal but worth every penny for us.    [/quote]

PP here, meant to add: We did intensive OG tutoring (5 days a week) through ASDEC, LMB summer program, and all the other things in elementary school, and none of it made much of a difference -- I think sometimes dyslexia is just really hard to remediate and it's going to be a long road no matter what. For us, the key was finding an environment where DS would be able to make at least slow progress on his reading while also thriving despite being so far behind.  [/quote]
