Intensive Intervention 

When addressing dyslexia, the frequency and intensity of intervention can significantly impact outcome. Here is a comparison of intensive intervention versus a more gradual approach.
​
​

Intensive Intervention 
 

Gradual Support

1-3 hours a day for 6-12 weeks*

2-3x per week 

  • Boosts confidence and reduces the emotional/social toll early on

  • Strengthens brain rewiring through frequent, structured practice 

  • Faster progress and skill acquisition reduces frustration 

  • Daily practice builds momentum and retention 

  • Prevents long term academic gaps and dependency on classroom accommodations  

  • Allows precise, real time progress monitoring and adjustment, and more! 

  • Bigger family commitment early on

  • Some students do not love to miss school or be pulled on. These emotions should always be considered. 

  • However, teaches our students we can do hard things! 

  • Limited reinforcement slows neurological adaptation

  • Slower pace may extend struggle and lower motivation 

  • Infrequent sessions increase forgetting between lessons 

  • May require longer-term support

  • Can increase emotional strain because parents and students do not "feel" the success quickly enough

  • A more feasible financial commitment for families early on

  • Allows for more consistent school schedule or after school availability 

  • A long term relationship with our skilled and personal teachers, with supports that evolve over time/grade/age 

Please know at the end of the day, every child is unique, and every family has their own needs. We will always tailor a program for you to meet those needs!
