CHILDREN’S DYSLEXIA CENTER

The Valley of Southern Illinois established our Children’s Dyslexia Center 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.
