What Is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a widely recognized learning difference that affects how individuals read and process language. The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) defines it as follows:

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability characterized by difficulties in word reading and/or spelling that involve accuracy, speed, or both and vary depending on the orthography. These difficulties occur along a continuum of severity and persist even with instruction effective for the individual’s peers. Causes involve genetic, neurobiological, and environmental influences. Underlying difficulties with phonological and morphological processing are common but not universal, and early oral language weaknesses often foreshadow literacy challenges. Secondary consequences include reading comprehension problems and reduced reading and writing experience.

“95% of children at risk for reading failure will not struggle academically if we can reach them before third grade.”

It’s been about 6 years since you saw my daughter.  Through you, I was able to get with a CALT.  My daughter now is a Jr.  I wanted to let you know that she was just accepted into the National Honor Society. Thank you for everything you do!

I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to see my daughter want to pick up a book and read it for 15 minutes! The new ability she has gained in deciphering words has opened a door for her that we previously were not able to penetrate. Thank You!

Lisa, Parent

I wanted to pass along that the Law School Admissions Council approved my accommodation request for 50% extra time to take the December LSAT. Accommodations were granted on the first attempt, and no appeal was necessary….I can’t thank you enough for all of your help and patience during my testing, the follow up explanation, and the necessary paperwork regarding my dyslexia diagnosis and accommodations request.

Taylor, Student

After years of frustration we’ve finally found something that works! (And we tried a lot of different things). Matthew used to tell us he wanted to read at bedtime like the rest of us (Mom, Dad, sister). Now he reads to all of us at bedtime.

Jennifer, Parent

Our daughter was able to progress from below grade level to near the top of her class after only four months of therapy thanks to the intense work of her Dyslexia Therapist at The Dyslexia Center. Our family’s concern and frustration have been replaced by great joy and hope for her future!
