Question 1

Will this course help me support struggling readers, even if they do not have a diagnosis of dyslexia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If a child you care about is a struggling reader and speller, this program is for you.  We teach you how to gather and interpret data so you can request the right assessments, evaluations, and supports...even before a formal diagnosis.

Question 2

What if I do not have a child's evaluation or data to use during this program?  Will it still benefit me?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  We provide evaluations and data for a sample child so you can work through the process and practice.  You will be ready to advocate and apply what you’ve learned whenever student data becomes available.

Question 3

Is this program right for me if I'm a professional who works with children with dyslexia?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If you are a professional with a passion for ensuring students with dyslexia get the education they need, this course is for you.  You will learn how to peel back the layers of data to reveal exactly what a child with dyslexia needs, then learn how to make sure those needs are addressed in an IEP.  We recommend this program for:    ✨ Teachers   ✨ Private providers such as tutors and therapists   ✨ Professional advocates who would like to specialize in dyslexia   ✨ Anyone who wants to help advocate for a child with dyslexia

Question 4

What if a child has dyslexia and ADHD/anxiety/other needs—does this course still apply?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In fact, most of our clients have co-occurring conditions such as these.  We teach you to use data and clear language to advocate for a child’s needs, including executive functioning, attention, and social-emotional needs.

Question 5

Can you guarantee eligibility or services?

Accepted Answer

We cannot offer guarantees.  There is no way to know how a team will respond to your requests. However, by using the skills and tools in this program, you will be able to present strong, data-driven requests with an advocacy mindset.  That will allow for more productive IEP meetings that will bring your team closer to consensus.  Participants in our previous programs have shared their great results!

Question 6

Do you provide refunds?

Accepted Answer

We do not provide refunds.  However, we understand that life happens.  If you have an extenuating circumstance that prevents you from taking part of the cohort you signed up for, we will be happy to admit you into the next cohort that fits your schedule.
