Ep. 9 Are We There Yet: How Long Does A Dyslexia Remediation Really Take?
Dec 27, 2022
One of the most common questions I hear from parents after they hire a specialist is, how long will it take to get my child up to grade level? Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to give a clear, guaranteed timeline of your child’s progress.
In this episode, I explore the different factors that go into your child’s success with an interventionist. Your child’s age, individual needs, and the intensity of their instruction all play major roles in their ability to make meaningful progress.
My go-to answer when parents ask how long dyslexia remediation takes is that this process is a marathon, not a sprint. You should anticipate challenges and celebrate milestones along the way.
Listen in to learn more about what to expect when it comes to predicting and tracking your child’s progress.
