Kids with profound dyslexia, especially if they are getting older, can benefit from hiring an experienced tutor, particularly one experienced in the Orton-Gillingham research-based reading method. In this method, students work at their own progress.
Even when it seems like they're on a slow path and other methods would promote faster results, forcing methods on students that aren't best for them only slows them down more. Many Orton-Gillingham tutors treat the underlying weaknesses associated with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, rather than focusing on the actual difficulties.
