Student Success Stories

Every de Paul student has a unique story to tell. Each is a child with distinctive gifts, talents, interests, and specific needs. Many have experienced the traumatic effects of low achievement and feelings of inferiority. Others discovered their learning differences at an early age and received help before experiencing failure.

Their stories are woven together, however, by several common threads: potential to learn, desire to learn, learning differences which pose as obstacles to their development, and the need for the right educational approach for them.

The following true stories are provided to give insight into the experiences of children with learning differences, and the variety of needs which lead families to de Paul.
