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 was that we enroll him in some type of multi-sensory learning program ASAP, preferably one called Lindamood-Bell. At that time, I had no idea what multi-sensory even 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 (LMB) saved my son's life and his future.
If you'd like more information about LMB then please feel free to email me at the link below. I will get back with you just as soon as I can.

I am very interested in your experience as we are in a similar boat. The Orton-Gillingham system they are using at my son's school appears to be doing very little to help him with decoding and we are looking to do LB but yes, what a scary bill. Please either update this post or contact me. I can be reached at cthallagan@yahoo.com
