Looking to ID local resources in western suburbs of Phila. My son Alex was recently diagnosed w/ LD and we are trying to weigh our options. Need to find out more about Lindamood Bell, the Benchmark school, also looking for private tutors.

Hi there,
Sorry you haven’t gotten more replies. We live in Doylestown and know of a wonderful developemental optometrist if you need that referal for any visual processing issues. I have heard good things about the Benchmark school though general and second hand. I have also heard great things, from therapists and parents, about the Horsham Friends School, right off the Turnpike. It’s an LD school w/the intent to give the kids the skills to be mainstreamed and most of the kids who stay through 12th go to college. I also know of a good OT/PT Social Skills Ceneter in Chalfont. Not sure how far west you are. Chalfont is about 20 mins from Blue Bell. Also several friends, who I’ve met on this journey, can only say wonderful things about CHOP’s programs. Of course you have to wait months to get in and traveling over an hour, each way, for various therapies several times a week is not an option for everybody.
Let me know if you need anymore info about any of the above.
