Tutoring, alternative strategies to learning, and persistence and love on the part of all of the staff somehow gave my son the foundation for graduating high school, doing progressively better each year in college, and finding his way in a world that would not give him untimed tests or cut him slack for a disability that the vast majority sluffed off to laziness.

Our younger son whose difficulty with reading was less severe spent a shorter time at McGlannan and benefitted equally. Today he has a successful career in Higher Education Emergency Management.

I would break down into tears when sharing my daughter's struggles with other parents: her frustration, lack of confidence, constant after school remediation, and avoidance of going to school. Fast forward to her 2nd year at McGlannan, and my daughter loves school; she wakes up before her alarm with a smile on her face, excited to learn and go to an environment where teachers and staff care so much about her. By the end of her first semester at McGlannan, she started to read and write and looks forward to reading to us every day. Instead of hours of remediation after school, she is free to enjoy childhood and is now participating in sports, arts, and extracurriculars like other children. Most importantly, she is confident in herself and no longer believes that she is somehow "stupid."
I believe that McGlannan has changed her life trajectory to a promising future. McGlannan is a gift to children and families like my own.

McGlannan helped shape my academic life and prepared me for high school. My years at McGlannan taught me organization skills. I am now able to come home and organize my homework, so I am able to do it in the most efficient way. A large amount of homework, when organized properly, looks easy!

The McGlannan School has had a profound impact on me and my two daughters. We were afforded a solid foundation of academic skills provided in a caring environment. Today, we are all confident, productive, and thriving in our various roles.
