No, dyslexia is much more complex. It's a specific learning disability that affects reading accuracy, fluency, spelling abilities, decoding skills, written expression, and phonological processing. Each person's experience with dyslexia can be different.
We provide one-on-one instruction using the Barton Reading & Spelling System, incorporating multisensory techniques, systematic phonics instruction, and structured literacy approaches. Our methods are research-based and proven effective.
While dyslexia is a lifelong condition, proper intervention and support can help individuals develop strong reading and writing skills. Our structured literacy approach helps students build confidence and achieve academic success.
