Hillside School & Center for Dyslexia

Hillside opened in 2005 with a focused mission: to provide students with dyslexia the expert, individualized instruction they deserve.

Hillside School and Center for Dyslexia unlocks the
potential of dyslexic students through specialized
instruction, while also championing awareness and change
through community and professional development. From the start, our impact in the classroom was clear. But as we partnered with students and families, a broader need came into focus—one that extended beyond our intervention program. We saw that real, lasting progress happens when everyone around the student is supported too—when families are informed, educators are empowered, and transitions are guided with care. So, with intention and purpose, we expanded our work beyond instruction to meet those broader needs. Today, Hillside is proud to serve as Boulder County’s first Center for Dyslexia. In addition to specialized teaching, we offer learning evaluations, professional development for educators, parent and community support, and transition services—each designed to strengthen the ecosystem around every student.

Academic growth doesn’t happen overnight. Building strong foundational skills takes time, practice and patience, especially when a student learns differently.

Celebrate the small wins. A new skill mastered, a difficult task completed or a little more confidence today can all be meaningful steps forward.

Slow progress is still progress. With the right support and consistent encouragement, each step can create a stronger foundation for future success.

Myth or Truth? Let’s Fact Check!

❌ Myth: Dyslexia means a child isn’t intelligent.

✅ Truth: Dyslexia affects how someone processes language, not how intelligent they are.

A student can be bright, creative and capable while still finding reading, spelling or writing challenging. With the right tools, teaching strategies and encouragement, dyslexic learners can build stronger skills and thrive academically.

Understanding the difference helps us focus on supporting the learner, not limiting them by a label.

What if learning didn’t have to happen through reading or listening alone?

Seeing, hearing, moving and doing can all help students connect with new concepts in meaningful ways. Multisensory instruction gives learners more than one pathway to understand, practice and remember what they’re learning.

For students who learn differently, using multiple senses can make lessons feel more engaging, accessible and easier to connect with.

Learning differences aren’t something to hide. They’re part of what makes every learner unique.

When students understand how their brain learns best, they can begin to discover strategies that make reading, writing, studying and problem-solving feel more manageable.

The right support isn’t about changing who a student is. It’s about helping them find the tools that work for them so they can build skills, confidence and independence.

Every student's journey looks different.

At Hillside, we celebrate the moments that don't always appear on report cards: increased confidence, stronger self-advocacy, and the courage to tackle new challenges.

The transition back to school can feel exciting for some students and overwhelming for others—especially those with learning differences.

Creating predictable routines before the school year begins can help ease anxiety and build confidence. Gradually adjusting sleep schedules, setting aside time for reading, organizing school supplies, and talking about the upcoming year are all simple ways to prepare.

A confident start often begins with thoughtful preparation.

Great teachers do more than teach academic skills, they help students feel capable, valued, and understood.

A supportive educator can inspire confidence, encourage resilience, and make a lasting impact that extends far beyond the classroom.

We're grateful for the educators who help students believe in themselves every day.

Dyslexia doesn't disappear with age, but that doesn't mean progress isn't possible.

With evidence-based instruction, personalized support, and encouragement, students with dyslexia can become confident readers and lifelong learners.

The right support starts with understanding.

We partner with Zarlengo Learning Evaluations to help families gain clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of their child's unique learning profile.

Through comprehensive evaluations, families can better understand their child's strengths, identify areas where additional support may be beneficial, and receive thoughtful recommendations for next steps. When everyone has a clearer understanding of how a student learns best, it's easier to provide the support that helps them thrive.

Structured literacy provides students with clear, systematic instruction that builds reading and writing skills step by step.

For many students with dyslexia, this evidence-based approach helps strengthen foundational literacy skills while building confidence and independence as learners.
