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 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.

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.

For many people, receiving a dyslexia diagnosis brings understanding rather than limitation.

Recognizing how you learn is often the first step toward building confidence and achieving your goals.

Summer is a time to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories, but it's also an opportunity to keep learning in small, meaningful ways.

For students with dyslexia, maintaining a simple literacy routine can help preserve the progress they've worked so hard to achieve throughout the school year. Reading together, listening to audiobooks, writing postcards, or playing word games are all great ways to keep skills fresh while still enjoying summer.

Remember, consistency matters more than perfection. Even a few minutes each day can make a meaningful difference.

Many people with dyslexia are never formally identified, which can delay access to the instruction and support that helps them thrive.

Recognizing the signs early gives students and families the opportunity to better understand how they learn and access evidence-based strategies that foster long-term success.

Early identification doesn't just explain challenges—it opens the door to meaningful support and greater confidence.

Success doesn't look the same for everyone, and neither does learning.
