Dyslexia Education

Hindman Settlement School provides educational programs for children with dyslexia and dyslexic characteristics. Programs include an After-School Program, a Summer Tutoring Program and a Reading Lab Partnership. The after-school and summer school programs serve children from first grade through high school. The Reading Lab Partnership serves students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade.

Research shows that 74 percent of children who are poor readers in the 3rd grade remain poor readers in the 9th grade. Early identification of children with dyslexic characteristics coupled with programs that enable them to “learn how to learn” is critical to these students’ self-esteem and future success.

The programs offered by Hindman Settlement School are an investment that brings tangible results. Students who are able to overcome their learning differences are much more likely to succeed in school and go on to college. Research suggests that people with dyslexia are often of average to above-average intelligence. They just process information differently. Hindman Settlement School believes investing in these young people is a long-term strategy that has and will continue to benefit the region.

Additional resources for parents and students who learn differently are available in our Dyslexia Resources area.
