Learning Center

32° MASONIC LEARNING CENTER

The Valley of Southern Illinois established our 32° Masonic Learning Center for Children in the year 2002.
Our mission is to provide professional treatment free of charge to children with dyslexia.

What is Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a neurologically based, inheritable disorder that interferes with the language acquisition and processing. It manifests
itself early in life as a "reading problem" or "reversal problem". Dyslexia is estimated to affect some 15% of the population - more than two million school age children.

Setting Higher Standards
Our Learning Center provides highly qualified staff specially trained in the treatment of dyslexia. After professional assessment
and evaluation of a student's needs, the staff then provides customized one-on-one instruction using a variety of techniques. In addition, our Learning Center provides training for volunteers who want to tutor children with dyslexia.
