1 in 5 children has dyslexia. Here are common signs to look for:
✓ Struggles to decode or “sound out” words
✓ Trouble spelling simple words
✓ Mixes up similar letters (b/d, p/q)
✓ Avoids reading aloud
✓ Guesses words based on the first letter
✓ Tears or frustration during homework
Dyslexia is far more common than most parents realize, and with the right support, children make incredible progress. If your child shows a few of these signs, an assessment can provide clarity and a plan that truly helps.

Dyslexia Therapy FAQs
-
Struggling to learn letters, mixing up colors, or having trouble recognizing familiar words can all be early indicators that a child may be experiencing dyslexia. While every child learns at their own pace, noticing these patterns early can make a huge difference in getting the right support for your child.
-
A: Our Initial Consultation and Evaluation (ICE) include standardized testing administered by a Certified Academic Language Therapist specifically trained and experienced in conducting an ICE. Our therapist will provide an immediate review of the ICE results review with parents, and specific recommendations for intervention.
-
A: Most families notice improvements in confidence and attitude within the first few months. Research shows significant, measurable gains typically appear within 6-12 months of consistent therapy (3-4 sessions per week). However, achieving independent reading success usually requires 18-24 months of sustained intervention. The brain needs time to build and reinforce new reading pathways. This is real neurological change, not a quick fix.
-
Yes. Research demonstrates that students maintain word reading gains and continue to improve in reading comprehension for years after completing therapy. Studies tracking students up to four years post-treatment show stable, lasting outcomes. We’re not just teaching reading strategies. Dyslexia therapy rewires how the brain processes written language.
-
Take Flight is a comprehensive, Orton-Gillingham based curriculum developed by Scottish Rite for Children that addresses all five components of effective reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension. It's an evidence-based approach with decades of research supporting its effectiveness.
-
Tutors typically help with homework completion and test prep. Dyslexia therapy addresses the underlying neurological patterns that cause reading challenges. Our CALTs have 700+ hours of specialized training in how the dyslexic brain learns to read, and they use multisensory, structured techniques specifically designed to rewire reading pathways.
