A LEARNING DIFFERENCE
Having dyslexia does not mean that you can not read. It means that you must be taught a different way.
MISSION
At Employ Dyslexia, we are committed to empowering families and individuals with dyslexia through comprehensive educational services so that students may thrive in their educational and personal pursuits.
VISION
Worldwide awareness and understanding of dyslexia, with inclusive educational services, so that truly, no child is left behind.
Dyslexia is an unexpected difficulty in learning to read. Dyslexia takes away an individual’s ability to read quickly and automatically, and to retrieve spoken words easily, but it does not dampen their creativity and ingenuity.
