Scenic Land offers a free screening for dyslexia. Call or email the school to schedule an appointment for this free service. If the screening determines that your child is at-risk for dyslexia, the school can assess your child using a battery of nationally normed tests to determine if he or she meet the criteria for a diaganosis.

Yes, we have tutored many, many children with dyslexia. Our program was designed for children with learning challenges such as dyslexia and ADD. With detailed report from a child psychologist we can tailor the child's program to fit his or her individual needs. Dyslexia can be overcome, not cured.

Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty affecting a person's ability to deal with text, and often numbers as well. Dyslexia is estimated to occur in about 8% of the population. Similar to color blindness, it is a permanent disability which needs continuous support through schooling. It is often accompanied by strengths in areas such as creative work, physical co-ordination and empathy with other people.

If the child is a mature six' year old or over this age (including adults), it is very possible that vision therapy exercises will help where any visual problems such as poor tracking, reduced accommodation, low or excessive convergence, reduced fusional reserves are possible contributory factors to their difficulties.

Learning that your child has autism can be a lonely experience. Many parents report that they feel like they have "lost their child". Upon learning that a child has autism, many families are eager to begin treatment. Early interventions have proven to be helpful when addressing the needs of individuals with autism. There are a number of links on this site to direct you to treatment interventions and support networks.

Anxiety is the most frequent emotional symptom reported by dyslexics. They become fearful due to the failures and confusion experienced in school. This anxiety causes the dyslexic individual to avoid schoolwork and assignments. Parents and teachers may misinterpret this avoidance behaviour as laziness. However, this avoidance is related more to anxiety and confusion than to apathy. A key component of the Remediation Plus System is that the approach is emotionally sound.

Your daughter may have a growth hormone deficiency in addition to CDI. This can result from a variety of congenital malformations or acquired diseases of the pituitary hypothalamus that are often evident on MRI of the brain. An MRI should be done if it has not been already. She also should have tests of growth hormone and other pituitary hormones. It is not uncommon to develop CDI after surgery for a pituitary tumor.

Almost all children entering our program are attached! Often, however, their relationship with their parent(s) is problematic, based on difficulties in the child's early life history. One way to say this is that the attachment pattern they are demonstrating in relationship to the caregiver is not secure, or is disordered. The resulting behavioral problems make parts of every day life a challenge. A main goal of treatment is to increase the security of the child's relationship with the caregiver.

Most vomiting resolves naturally within twelve to twenty-four hours, although your child may occasionally vomit for several days after developing a stomach virus. Diarrhea often follows vomiting by a day or so. We do not recommend that you give your child any medication to stop vomiting. At the beginning of a stomach virus, it is best to let your child rest, and not to force fluids intake.

Don't assume that if you can't see them they're not there - even when you look thoroughly! The best way to check for head lice is using a plain white conditioner and the NitpickerTM head lice comb. The conditioner will stun any lice, making them easier to remove. Apply the conditioner liberally, then run a wide-toothed comb through the hair first to remove tangles and to evenly spread the lotion.

There are two types of dyslexia. It is either brought about by early ear infections which caused temporary hearing problems (acquired dyslexia) or though congenital and developmental traits (developmental dyslexia). Its cause has not been fully established, but the effect is to create neurological anomalies in the brain. These anomalies bring about varying degrees of difficulty in learning when using words, and sometimes symbols.

Each dyslexic person's difficulties are different and vary from slight to very severe disruption of the learning process. There is no total cure, but the effects of dyslexia can be alleviated by skilled specialist teaching of phonics, sequencing and techniques to raise the person's self-esteem. The neurological differences also give some dyslexic people visual, spatial, physical co-ordination and lateral thinking abilities that enable them to be successful in a wide range of careers.

No, we will not diagnose any particular learning challenge. We will refer to other qualified professionals It is important to obtain the diagnosis to determine future educational programming and planning.

If your child has had difficulty learning to read words and spell, she might have dyslexia. Young children with dyslexia typically have difficulty learning the alphabet, rhyming, and dividing words into their sounds. Many parents of students with dyslexia describe their children as bright and eager learners until they encounter instruction in reading. At such time, they often become frustrated and despondent.

If you think your child may be dyslexic, contact your school principal and explain your concern. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA Reauthorization 1997) and Public Law 94-142, the Education for all Handicapped Children Act of 1978, you are entitled to have your child evaluated by the school. Generally, schools provide a basic evaluation, but they do not always make a differential diagnosis for dyslexia.

Yes. Any child, regardless of aptitude or learning challenges, will make the most of his or her potential from a plan that respects the person of the child, broadens the mind with exposure to many subjects of interest, and relies on instilling habits that build character. Short lessons, small steps, focus on skills and habits, use of manipulatives and exposure to living ideas through books are perfectly geared for children with special needs. You can read more here.
