Try the Shelton school in Dallas. I'm thinking of moving my child too but have not visited the school yet. Good luck.

The Winston School is awesome - it's at Royal Ln. and the Tollway. Call the school for a tour!
My hubby has worked there for 18 years and has watched the programs grow and become very professional. I know a lot of the teachers there, and it is a very supportive environment for each child and their individual learning difference!
Sincerely,
Kim
Best school in the country is Shelton School and Evaluation Center at 15720 Hillcrest Rd. Dallas, Tx Phone # 972-774-1772.
Shelton is for children with learning differences who have average or above-average intelligence. Children who fail or are at high risk to fail when exposed to school experiences using conventional educational techniques. My son is ADD and has attended Shelton since preschool. He has improved greatly and will be leaving Shelton next year to attend Bishop Lynch High School. He has attended Shelton since preschool. I love Shelton and cannot begin to tell how great the school has been for us. I don't know what we would have done without Shelton. Just give them a call and they will answer all your questions.
A little about me:
I'm a stay at home mom with 2 children and 1 stepson. My children are ages 15 and 12. And my stepson is 12. All three children attend different schools. And I have been happily married for 5 years.
You’re lucky to be looking for a school in Dallas for your learning-different child. You have a lot of options! In addition to simply finding a school that serves your child’s needs – be sure to have a thorough assessment by a neuro-psych or educational-psych to determine the best fit. In addition, visit different schools to find the right fit for your and your child’s personality. Let’s face it, you’re going to spend a lot of money at a private school. Consider the social environment for both your child as well as the family. The various LD schools in Dallas all have distinct personalities. I like to have more involvement and communicate w/ teachers – so I like Oak Hill. My child is speech delayed/sensory issues. Needless to say, I don’t get feedback from him!! I like that parents/teachers know him and it’s a small village, so I follow his progress through the “community.” Be sure to include Oak Hill on your list of schools to interview.
Thank you all so much for all the names of LD schools! I’ve been busy calling them all for further information. I so much appreciate the help and point in the right direction!
