Children’s Dyslexia Center

The Valley of Southern Illinois established our Children’s Dyslexia Center in 2002. Our mission is to provide professional treatment at no cost to children with dyslexia.

 

What is Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a neurologically based, inheritable disorder that interferes with 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 a 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.
