What educational options are there for a dyslexic child?
Some public and independent schools have special reading programs for young people who require extra help. Some with dyslexia may benefit from additional tutoring two or three times a week with a reading specialist. For the young person who has reached the seventh grade level and still requires remediation, a residential school which offers a highly intensive retraining program will produce the best and most immediate results. The Gow School is the nation’s oldest college preparatory school for dyslexic young men.
