This year, The Briarwood School participated in the Region 4 Dyslexia Conference, a gathering dedicated to the latest in dyslexia research, intervention strategies, assessment methods, and classroom accommodations. Educators and advocates from across the area came together to learn, share, and connect — working toward better outcomes for students with dyslexia.
Students and administration attended to share The Briarwood Way — Briarwood’s unique approach to teaching students with learning differences — and to spotlight the growth and success our students achieve every day.
Four Briarwood students from Middle to Upper School shared their experiences on a panel, speaking about how The Briarwood Way has impacted their lives.
Their responses were a testament to their hard work and what’s possible when students are taught in a way that works for them.
Proud family members of panelists attended, wearing “Proud Briarwood Parent” lanyards, making the day even more special. The smiles from our students, their parents, and panel attendees said it all: Briarwood changes lives.
