Fort Myers is a vibrant and growing city, but educational options for children with learning disabilities are severely limited. This is a function of BOTH the magnitude of the issue, as well as the nature and quantity of these options. You've come to the right place.

De LaSalle Academy IS a school for children with dyslexia - as well as other learning difficulties. <em>Approximately 80 percent of students with learning disabilities have been described as reading disabled.</em>

Before we jump to conclusions - let's define dyslexia.
<blockquote>Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability. Dyslexia refers to a cluster of symptoms, which result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading. Students with dyslexia usually experience difficulties with other language skills such as spelling, writing, and pronouncing words. Dyslexia affects individuals throughout their lives; however, its impact can change at different stages in a person's life. It is referred to as a learning disability because dyslexia can make it very difficult for a student to succeed academically in the typical instructional environment, and in its more severe forms, will qualify a student for special education, special accommodations, or extra support services. <a title="LD Online" href="http://www.ldonline.org/" target="_blank">Supplied by www.ldonline.org</a></blockquote>
