Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a common learning difference that affects reading, spelling, and the ability to process written language. It is not related to intelligence—individuals with dyslexia often have average or above-average abilities—but may have difficulty recognizing words, decoding sounds, and reading fluently. It can affect both children and adults, and early identification is key to success.

Signs of dyslexia may include:

  • Difficulty matching letters to sounds
  • Trouble reading accurately or fluently
  • Frequent spelling errors
  • Difficulty sounding out unfamiliar words
  • Avoiding reading or becoming easily frustrated
  • Strong verbal skills but weaker reading comprehension
  • Difficulty remembering sequences (letters, numbers, days)

How We Help

We provide comprehensive evaluations to identify dyslexia and related learning differences by assessing reading, language, and cognitive skills. Based on these results, we create personalized, data-driven treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs.

Dyslexia intervention sessions utilize Reading by Design, a structured, multisensory program rooted in the Orton-Gillingham approach. Instruction is explicit, systematic, and cumulative, helping build strong decoding, spelling, and reading fluency skills. Each session is individualized to provide targeted support and measurable progress.

Treatment may include:

  • Evidence-based reading interventions
  • Phonological awareness and decoding training
  • Spelling and writing support
  • Strategies to improve reading fluency and comprehension

Why Early Support Matters

With the right support, individuals with dyslexia can become confident, capable readers. Early intervention helps build essential skills, reduce frustration, and improve both academic performance and everyday communication.
