Once they enroll at Glenforest, it is not unusual for children who were experiencing learning problems in conventional settings to surpass their friends in academic achievement, and often in college placement. I t is always a very special moment when a child makes that transition from feeling bad about himself to that great, positive feeling that comes with genuine achievement. At Glenforest we see that development in almost every child and we are as pleased as the student. We see these students develop a new positive attitude as they gain the sure knowledge that they, too, can learn as well as anyone else. These students go on to achieve more than they, their parents and their old teachers ever felt possible.
Success breeds success.
At Glenforest we see it every day. T he child with a learning problem can generally be placed in one of three categories. We have a program for each of them and our success rate is remarkable. I t is estimated that 25,000,000 Americans have Dyslexia. Dyslexics tend to reverse letters, twist words, confuse words and numerical order, subtract from the left to the right or have difficulty in learning.
