It is important to ask questions and stay involved. We have a unique Center for the community that can provide resources for students, parents, educators and healthcare professionals. We created a place for resources to be accessed online or at the Resource Room located in our Center.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Check the calendar often for updates on events at the Center as well as throughout local communities.

ACADEMIC LANGUAGE (DYSLEXIA) THERAPIST TRAINING

Teacher trainees learn to implement an Orton-Gillingham based multisensory language therapy program called Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia. The Take Flight curriculum was written by the staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas, Texas.

EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL MEETING SPACE

We have a new community room at the Center called the Learning Loft.  This room is designed to hold professional development meetings, educational seminars, and workshops.  If you need a space for a few hours, or a few days, we offer flexible rental options.

Branding and Marketing Services

Most small business owners already have a website and a social media channel but need someone to trust to help keep their digital presence up to date and relevant.
