  Unfortunately, our experience with Leslie was bad. As we pulled up to a ramshackled house next to a trailer park outside rural Holly Springs, I should have known. But we stayed and had Leslie "evaluate" our high school age son (with dyslexia). Though Leslie is very, very nice and seems well intentioned and well informed she was less than professional. Her classroom was a messy converted den in her modest home. She's uses an unknown software that 'she helped develop' apparently without any official accreditation or peer evaluation. She did not reference any standardized test or software and did not provide paperwork to support her conclusions. When asked, she flatly refused to put her conclusions, methodology or tactics in writing - which we desparately needed for our son's high school counselor. I found this off-putting, suspicious and shameful. This visit was a waste of time that delayed getting real help for a struggling student. NOT RECOMMENDED.

  In September 2013, my son’s Kindergarten teacher contacted us and told us she was noticing some inconsistencies in his learning and comprehension. We sought help immediately, trying to identify the root of his issues. He was having difficulty following basic directions, retaining information, letter and sight word recognition and memory. My son had attended daycare, and things always seemed to be going well with Pre-K preparations. This new information was quite alarming, and we were determined to find out what was causing him to have difficulty in school. After seeking the help of a private psychologist, ruling out issues with eyesight and neurological deficiencies, we decided to have him tested for a learning disability. We learned that his elementary school could provide the testing and was required to do so by state law in a certain amount of time following our request. In early February we learned the results of the testing. My son has a relatively high IQ score, however, has severe deficiencies in “working memory and processing speed.” We shared the school’s results with our private psychologist, and based on a significantly low oral fluency score, her diagnosis was dyslexia. Like most parents, I was determined to get all the help I could that would allow my son to be successful academically. He was beginning to notice that he was below grade level, and started comparing himself to his peers and expressing frustration with school. I researched brain training software, private tutors, learning centers and in-home solutions. Nothing seemed to address everything that he was experiencing. We hired a traditional academic tutor, and although my son adored her and enjoyed the time they spent together, it wasn’t helping him at the rate we needed. In the spring, we were informed by my son’s teacher that he was at risk for retention. I was devastated. Here was an extremely intelligent boy, who knew the material, but was struggling with retrieving it and applying it. I felt that teaching material to him in the same way by repeating Kindergarten was not the answer. Desperate, I searched on Google for resources and came across, Student Learning Recovery Tutoring. Everything on the website described exactly what my son was going through. All the reviews indicated that Leslie Rosenberg was a miracle worker, and could help children learn differently, and in ways where they would better remember academic concepts. We have been a student at Student Learning Recovery Tutoring for nearly three months and we are amazed at my son’s progress. His teacher’s decided not to retain him and he will be moving on to the first grade this summer. My son’s outlook on school has completely changed. He went from writing a string of letters and nonsense words to writing complete sentences in a matter of weeks. He has mastered so many additional sight words, letters and spelling, and better reading skills and comprehension. We will continue to see Leslie until we feel he is able to confidently and successfully handle school without the assistance of a tutor. Something Leslie is extremely confident will happen within a few more months of sessions. The amount of change we have seen in him in such a short time is amazing, to say the least. Leslie is dedicated to truly helping children with learning disabilities. She gives them confidence, and forms lasting relationships with them. My son looks forward to attending his sessions with Leslie, and I love listening to him get excited about new concepts during their session. Leslie and her experience in visual therapy and learning disabilities was exactly what we were looking for. I am grateful that we found her and highly recommend her to anyone whose child is struggling in school. There is no cure for dyslexia, but Leslie’s techniques have taught my son how to manage his disability and develop new learning strategies that he will use for the rest of his academic career.
