If so, please consider joining us for a unique opportunity to watch an award-winning film about dyslexia and participate in a panel discussion. Our panelists offer a wide range of perspectives.

The book, “Overcoming Dyslexia” by Sally Shaywitz will be discussed on February 29, 2016 from 5:30 to 7 pm.   This book is a must read for anyone with a child who struggles to read. It’s not a sign of intelligence or limitation of one’s potential.  This workshop will discuss steps parents can take to help students with their learning differences. It’s never too late to make sure the proper supports are in place.  Please read the book ahead of time!
