Dyslexia is a learning disability which makes processing words and other written information a serious challenge. It affects approximately 10,000 students in the Staten Island area. Students who receive appropriate assistance at an early age are more likely to be able to succeed academically, and even attend college. One learning resource center is being held up as a model for successfully helping students overcome challenges posed by dyslexia.
Current techniques to treat dyslexia in schools
The Staten Island Academy hosts the Laura Elliman Patrick Academic Resource Center. This center strives to offer individualized learning programs for students who have either dyslexia or other learning disabilities. The programs are credited with success due to the smaller class sizes, as well as the customized instructions. The Center leader also states that teachers in the center have particular expertise and additional training. The borough president is considering using the Center’s model as a template, and bringing their approach to other borough schools.
