Next Steps: A Dyslexia Family Networking Forum

In the DC metro area, one in five students is dyslexic, and three in five students read below the level of proficiency. Academic success requires direct instruction in reading and spelling, along with powerful tools for self-advocacy. For parents, knowledge is key, as is becoming empowered and active.

Meaningful change is within our reach if we take the next steps. Dyslexia is real. The solutions exist.
