Princeton Dyslexia

The Laurel School of Princeton

This new school targets the population of early learners who show clear signs of dyslexia. We provide a safe, supportive environment for students. Using expert teachers, we use essential research-based multi-sensory teaching methodologies which include Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading System®, and others. A range of creative and assistive technologies are integrated into the curriculum, such as iMovie, GarageBand, Kurzweil, Inspiration@ Software, Dragon Dictation and others. The Newgrange School in Hamilton, NJ (a state-approved school for students with disabilities) and the Newgrange Educational Center in Princeton have provided educational services for dyslexics since 1977. Newgrange’s Executive Director, Dr. Gordon Sherman, is internationally recognized for his contributions to the field of brain research, teaching methodologies, and service to the dyslexia community.

The Lewis School Of Princeton

Founded in 1973, The Lewis School and Clinic are among the earliest groups of educators in the country to innovate, develop and implement curriculum-wide multisensory education, science-based student assessments and neuroscience-based teacher training within a structured and nurturing traditional school environment. The School’s philosophy is best described by its founder, Marsha Lewis, “Our students’ gifts and promise are as important to us as are their needs to repair scholastically. At The Lewis School, learning problems are understood, not as disabilities, but as differences: the expression of remarkable and diverse capacities of human thinking and perceptions. The purpose of a Lewis School education is to prepare students, who may struggle with language-based learning issues related to dyslexia, attention deficit and auditory processing, to thrive academically, as they learn to restore the confidence and self-esteem they need to achieve their scholastic and personal best.”
