[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone recommend intensive older-elementary-aged tutoring programs or summer programs in NoVA or DC for intensive dyslexia remediation? This is for a child with *profound* dyslexia (3 grade levels behind) with severe language retention, processing, and memory weakness. No behavioral problems. Sweet kid. But obviously frustrated and has developed a low frustration tolerance due to trauma from public school and also Covid/virtual.

Child is currently enrolled in a private school that specializes in language-based learning disabilities, but administrators are concerned about lack of progress and are not sure they can provide sufficient services anymore.

We are at a loss about what to do bc child is already in a private special Ed school, is getting privately tutored 2x a week, OT twice a week, and speech therapy 1x a week and is still functionally illiterate. Public school was a disaster and left DC emotionally in shambles.

I know you commented on the cost of Lab - but if you are at a private Special Ed School - and doing outside tutoring 2 x a week, you are not getting what you need from your current school.
We were in public school - and as a part of the triennial review, our school did the "FAR" and this helped better understand the complexity for why learning to read was so challenging. 
We got a placement though the public school to Lab (this was not an easy path - but we documented and fought and won).  
Now our kid gets dropped off at school - and everything happens during the school day.  
I have a happy kid who is reading grade level texts.
It does not cost me $60K a year - but it cost a lot of time, stress etc in getting from public school to the school district paying (it was almost another full time job)[/quote]
