Cena Holifield had a vision: a school just for young dyslexics (first through third grade) which would offer intensive remediation and return the student to the regular classroom (public or private). She had help getting the school going:
Dynamic Dyslexia Design School in Petal will receive a $156,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development program.
[Petal] Mayor Carl Scott said an additional $150,000 in matching funds is being provided from the city to equal more than $306,000 in total support.
The school got another boost from a local church, when building renovations weren't finished on time for the start of school, by making its classrooms available for the short term.
Dynamic Dyslexia Design School (3d School) will use a multi-sensory approach to teaching reading and writing.
The 3-D School's curriculum is designed for the young dyslexic student and is based on current research findings. We offer intensive reading remediation using the proven Orton-Gillingham based method adopted by the Mississippi College Dyslexia Training Program which is accredited by the International Multisensory Structured Language Educational Council (IMSLEC). Dyslexia therapy is delivered by trained MC Dyslexia Therapists and conducted for one hour daily in a maximum class size of 6 students. The maximum regular classroom size of 12 students enables us to know each child's special needs and provide the individual attention they require.
Congratulations to Ms. Holifield for achieving her dream, and congratulations to the lucky children of Petal, those with learning disabilities, who now have another resource.
Wouldn't it be great if every school district in the country had a small school like this?
