The Kildonan School was founded in 1969 by Diana Hanbury King to serve the needs of dyslexic students of average to above average intelligence. The objective of the school is to empower students to reach their potential and to equip them for future success through an intensive program of one-to-one training in reading, writing and spelling.
Camp Dunnabeck, the oldest residential camp of its kind, was established in 1955 by Diana Hanbury King to support intelligent children who are having difficulty in their academic work because of dyslexia or language-based learning disabilities.
The Orton-Gillingham Approach is used throughout both these programs.
