Discovering Dyslexia

Community Education Series

The goal of the Discovering Dyslexia Community Education Series is to educate families about dyslexia while also providing a supportive platform for caregivers to ask questions and get answers.

Each session will feature an expert guest who will address inquiries on topics such as: the diagnostic process, occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, the Orton-Gillingham Approach, mental health, and more. 

If you would like to be a guest expert at an upcoming Discovering Dyslexia session, please reach out to Jamie Dickson at dickson_jc@robertsacademy.org.
