I've taught dyslexic students and adults for 25 years and have yet to see a 
"ceiling" effect as long as the instruction is appropriate to the learner. 
Marie's *rules of thumb* seem right on target. Some students remain very 
concrete learners and do have difficulty abstracting information. But even 
they can make visible improvement.

Also, I never give up on a student. Most of the time, they've already given 
up on themselves.
