Understanding Dyslexia: A Unique Learning Journey

understanding dyslexia

Children with dyslexia often struggle with reading and may find traditional classrooms challenging. Common symptoms include difficulty with phonological processing, spelling, and reading fluency. These challenges can lead to frustration and are often misunderstood as a lack of effort, making it essential for parents and educators to fully understand dyslexia.

Beyond academics, dyslexia can impact self-esteem and motivation, sometimes leaving children feeling isolated. At Lindamood-Bell Academy, we specialize in evidence-based interventions that empower children with dyslexia by developing the reading and language skills they struggle with. 

 

Why Choose a School for Dyslexia?

why choose a school for dyslexia

Opting for a school that specializes in working with students diagnosed with dyslexia can be life-changing for children with learning challenges. At Lindamood-Bell Academy, our educators are trained in evidence-based instructional programs specifically designed to help students with dyslexia. Our school offers one-to-one instruction that recognizes each student’s strengths while meaningfully addressing their challenges.

Students who struggle with sounding out words or who are slow readers may have weak symbol imagery—the ability to visualize the letters/letter combinations in words. This difficulty makes reading frustrating and limits access to classroom instruction and curriculum. Over time, students with weak reading skills tend to fall further behind in typical school settings. At Lindamood-Bell Academy, we integrate individualized school curriculum with our evidence-based instruction to address the underlying causes of reading difficulties. The Lindamood-Bell  Academy is an ideal setting for students diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences.

The development of a student’s symbol imagery skills and our nurturing learning environment make learning more engaging and effective. Students gain confidence in their new abilities, which carry over into all areas of life. Our unique instructional approach has been proven effective in developing reading and language skills—even for students with dyslexia who have struggled for years.

Our Unique Approach to Learning

support at a school for dyslexia

At Lindamood-Bell Academy, we understand that students with dyslexia can thrive within a personalized school experience. Our instructional model begins with a comprehensive Learning Ability Evaluation to identify each student’s strengths and weaknesses. Based on the results, we create a personalized student plan that includes multisensory instruction focused on developing the sensory-cognitive processes essential for reading and comprehension.

Our learning model goes beyond simply adapting the curriculum. We aim to develop cognition—the thinking and reasoning skills that help students succeed in school and in life. Every lesson is an opportunity to engage students in deeper learning and help them apply their skills across subjects.

With our supportive, engaging environment and proven methods, students can truly thrive. Parents can feel confident knowing their child is supported by the best available instruction for students with dyslexia.
