We enjoy contributing to our community by providing free, public presentations like our popular, “Is My Kid Dyslexic? How to Know and What to Do” to help raise awareness and answer questions about dyslexia. Adamstown, Ephrata, Lititz, Lancaster, and Manheim Township Libraries have all hosted us. In addition, we like to drop in on library preschool programs to chat with parents about early screening. If you are a library and would like to take advantage of our free service, please contact us!

Topics include: “Is My Kid Dyslexic? How to Know and What to Do”; “Why You Care About Phonemic Awareness”; “The D Word – Why All the Controversy”; “MicroSchooling – A New Educational Trend”; “Virtual Tutoring – Is It Successful?”; “The Importance of Read Alouds for the Dyslexic Student”; “Speech Disorders and Dyslexia” LRS recently presented in two sessions at the “Demystifying Dyslexia”, February 2020 conference at Millersville University.

Speaking directly to teachers is one of the most effective ways to spread the word about dyslexia. Teachers are on the front lines. Any of our conference talks can be modified to suit education professionals. Preschool is a special area of interest for us since red flags for dyslexia can be identified as young as age 4. We are able to do screening of preschool children that can effectively predict their reading level in 3rd and 8th grade. Willow Street UCC Preschool has partnered with us to do screening as well as a parent presentation on phonemic awareness. Please contact us if you are interested in a teacher presentation or a student screening

Dyslexia might not show up first as a reading problem, but as a trip to the physician, the speech pathologist, or the psychologist. These professionals need a working knowledge of dyslexia and the local resources to provide remediation and family support. In addition, primary care physicians, have the opportunity to add screening for dyslexia to their well child care. We can offer in-office screening events or guidance on how best to screen for dyslexia in a busy office practice. Our conference presentations can be sculpted to suit your specialty area and interests. Please contact us for more information. Our most recent professional partner is the J. Cormack Therapy Group.
