Case Study- Jemicy School To determine the best practices for developing creative potential in children with dyslexia

The purpose of the study was to examine a school that specializes in teaching students with dyslexia, for the purpose of understanding the methods and practices being used to help these students succeed.

The findings show that the methods and practices used at Jemicy School with dyslexic students are conducive to developing the creative potential of the dyslexic child (Graves, 2009).

The study confirmed that using multisensory and experiential education does foster students creativity. It was determined that the methods and unique environment should be incorporated into other school systems (Graves, 2009).
