Hillside School & Center for Dyslexia

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.

Every learner brings unique strengths, challenges, and ways of understanding the world.

At Hillside, we believe that success begins when we recognize and support those differences rather than expect every student to learn the same way.

When people hear the word "support," they often think of accommodations or additional instruction.

While those things matter, meaningful support goes much deeper.

True support helps students understand themselves as learners, build confidence in their abilities, and develop the tools they need to navigate challenges independently.

At Hillside, our goal is not simply to help students succeed today. It's to help them become confident learners for years to come.

Dyslexia is not caused by a lack of effort or motivation.

Students with dyslexia process language differently, which means they often need structured, evidence based instruction to build reading and writing skills effectively.

With the right support, students can gain confidence, develop strong academic skills, and thrive in the classroom and beyond.

Every student’s learning profile is unique.

Zarlengo Learning Evaluations at Hillside go beyond a diagnosis to provide a deeper understanding of how a child learns, where they may be struggling, and what support can help them thrive.

Our evaluations uncover strengths, identify challenges, and help families move forward with clarity and confidence.

When you understand how a child learns, you can better support their success, both inside and outside the classroom.

Dyslexia brings unique strengths, creativity, problem solving, and big picture thinking.

At Hillside, we help students recognize and build on these strengths every day.

Some early signs of dyslexia can appear during everyday learning moments at home. While every child develops differently, here are a few common indicators parents may notice:

• Difficulty rhyming words
Children may struggle with recognizing or creating rhyming patterns in songs, books, or conversation.

• Avoiding reading aloud
A child may become frustrated, anxious, or hesitant when asked to read in front of others.

• Trouble sounding out words
Breaking words into individual sounds or blending sounds together may feel especially challenging.

• Challenges remembering sequences
Things like days of the week, the alphabet, or multi-step directions may be harder to retain.

• Homework frustration
Tasks involving reading or writing may lead to increased stress, avoidance, or emotional reactions.

Recognizing the signs early can make all the difference. If you have concerns, Hillside is here to help guide your next steps.

There is no single “right” way to learn.

Students with dyslexia often develop unique ways of processing information, solving problems, and understanding the world around them.

Success is not about fitting into one method, it is about finding the approach that works for you.

At Hillside, we help students build the skills and confidence to succeed in their own way.
