Dyslexia:  Beyond Reversals

Seeing letters and words backwards is dyslexia, right? Wrong! This presentation shatters that long held belief. Learn what the converging evidence says about dyslexia and how to identify it.

Dyslexia is often referred to as a language based learning disability. It is the most common form of learning disability. Approximately 15-20% of the population has a learning disability and the National Institutes of Health report that 60% to 80% of those with learning disabilities have problems with reading and language skills.

This presentation is appropriate for educators, parents and others interested in the topic.
 



Learning abilities acquired here are internalized.  A typical student leaves with intact learning processes, without the need for continued intervention or content tutoring.

 

"Thanks again for your contribution to my child's success story!   At each grading period of my daughter's school career, my thoughts go to Langsford...  She was able to achieve a 4.14 GPA this quarter in her Freshman year...  For a child who wasn't really reading until 3rd grade, this is a success story! She is reaching her potential and it is a joy to watch!"  Lynn, Parent & Public School Educator 

 

"...There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the great outcome (my son) has had from his time there. It has changed his life in so many ways. He is turning 17 Saturday and he is inviting about 11 kids over for a "Risk" tournament. Several new friends are on the list from school. It has helped him academically as well. He got all A's this quarter and is so confident now. ... Hope the word (about Langsford) continues to get out."  Marilyn

 

"The only place in town that does what you do!" Paula, daughter age 8, son 9.

"My son didn't need content tutoring, he needed to develop his reading skills.  Thank You!  Mary, son 10
 
"the programs make a life-altering difference...does not just address reading and language comprehension but overall (brain) functioning” - Ellen, son age 20
