Accelerated Learning Program for Dyslexia

Building a foundation for academic success.

Darlington is the only school in Northwest Georgia to offer a program specifically designed to support students with dyslexia. Focusing on grades 2-5, the Accelerated Learning Program for Dyslexia provides necessary remediation with experienced learning specialists, while enabling students with dyslexia enrolled in the program to receive the full Darlington experience.

Program Highlights

  • Intensive remediation happens during Spanish and English classes.

  • Remediation is conducted by four highly experienced reading specialists.
  • To ensure success in all courses, all pre-K to 5 teachers, assistants and administrators are Orton-Gillingham trained.
  • Students are evaluated at the end of each year with the goal being to move them out of the program after two years of intensive remediation.
  • Even after they are moved out of the program, students will continue to be supported by Darlington’s Teaching and Learning Center throughout their Darlington career as needed, free of charge.

Criteria

  • Student must apply and be accepted to Darlington.
  • Participants must be diagnosed with Dyslexia.
