Our vision is to come alongside parents to instill confidence, hope, and direction for their child with dyslexia by providing science-based information, knowledge of the K-12 school system, and supportive resources.
Dr. Rebecca Sanford
Students with dyslexia are my inspiration and fuel as I work to help them know they are intelligent and have much to give to the world.
I am first a parent who struggled to help my child learn to read. The many times I cried, racked my brain, and sought out anything that might have helped seemed endless at the time. Add on the guilt I felt as an educator who could not understand what was happening and that described my world. My child learned enough coping skills to make it and graduated with honors from high school, college, and obtained a Masters degree, but the journey was difficult.
As I later worked in the classroom, I had struggling students who I felt I could not help, so I returned to school for my Masters degree. I learned much but it still wasn’t enough. Hence I pursued a Doctorate degree. I focused my research on dyslexia and learned as much as I could. I implemented much of what I learned with my class and shared with other teachers ways that we as educators could help students begin to thrive. I understand what a parent goes through when a diagnosis is made or simply cannot understand why their student struggles.
I cannot keep this to myself or my classroom, so I am now sharing my expertise with others on this journey who need direction navigating the life of dyslexia so that they are filled with hope and direction.
