Dyslexia and Lindamood-Bell

When my son was diagnosed with double-deficit dyslexia (apparently the worst type to have) in September of 2009, the psycho educational tester recommended many things.  The most timely, costly and important recommendation being that we enroll him in some type of multi-sensory learning program, preferably one called Lindamood-Bell.  At that time, I had no idea what that meant, I was still in shock from the diagnosis.  After that day, things moved swiftly.  Within 3 weeks, we had packed up half of our house up, our two dogs and moved into an extended stay hotel and my son was enrolled in Lindamood-Bell learning center.  I was very fortunate that my boss, at the time, was very understanding and allowed me to work from the hotel via phone and fax.  On my son's first day, I had to write out the largest check that to date, I've ever written.  Wow!  I felt like I was taking a HUGE risk!  And I was!  We had no clue whether or not this place would help him.  I had googled Lindamood-Bell to death and was pretty much only finding their own statistics and web pages Lindamood-Bell.  Yes, it is a very odd name.  And yes, I did spell it correctly. You're probably on this page because you did a search for Lindamood-Bell.  That probably means you know someone with a learning disorder, quite possibly dyslexia. In a nutshell, Lindamood-Bell saved my son's future. To be continued
