Tzippy – I did not say that the resource room only teaches mnemonics. I only gave that as a pithy example.
And I do have experience with LD children, therapists and their methods. I have seen all kinds of therapists – some who have helped and some who have tried their best, but made little difference to the child’s overall academic situation. And any progress with resource room methods, in my experience, has always been slow. In fact, I have never seen dramatic progress with resource room methods.
I am not trying to put you or anyone else down. I am sure that you have helped many children. But what I am saying is that I have been impressed with Arrowsmith and their well-structured, scientifically based exercises and I have seen progress. And I am trying to help inform other parents as to another option for their struggling children, which in my opinion and my experience, has helped where other options have failed.
