If you search for options for education for children with dyslexia, you will find that you do have some choices.  There are a range of possibilities, depending on what is needed by the child. based on age and the severity of the disability.  Let's take a look at a few of them.

The first, most convenient and least expensive option is your own local school system.  Many have specialized programs for children with learning disabilities.  While you may find that these programs aren't just for children with dyslexia, but cover many learning disabilities, they are still a very good choice for many students.  These classes often teach the learning skills needed by children with dyslexia.  Often, you may find that understanding these skills is the element that has been missing in helping a child to learn effectively.  This may be all of the extra help a child needs.

A second option is private school.  There are many private schools that offer student boarding as well as nonresident day school choices.  These schools typically offer a very low student to teacher ratio, allowing more personalized and direct attention.  Most common are schools that offer programs for children of age nine or older.  Some schools offer instruction for grades 7-12, while others only offer middle school instruction with the goal of returning the student to regular classes for high school.  An advantage of these schools is that the students are in classes with others that have similar disabilities.  This will help them feel equal with their fellow classmates and may also make it easier for them to learn.  The downside to private school is, of course, the cost.  While there is some financial aid available, it is in limited supply, and so private school won't be appropriate or necessary for everyone.

A third option is tutoring or summer programs.  In many cases this extra assistance will help the majority of dyslexics.  Private tutors can be found through local schools and learning disability organizations.  Summer programs are offer by many private schools and are a much more affordable option to full time private school which is not always essential.  These offer many of the advantages of private school at a lower cost and in a more limited time frame.  These are also offered as residential or day school programs.  They are usually 4-6 week summer programs and teach the valuable skills needed for regular school classes.

There are many choices when it comes to schools for dyslexia .  These are a few of the options you have.  The important thing is that there are options.  Take some time and explore them to find the best choice for you.
