Testimonials
"My son is able to function beautifully without medication because of the tools he learned at Dyslexia Correction Center. He knows how to be in charge of his own behavior now. He focuses when he gets disoriented, and that certainly helps him in the classroom! The best thing about the program is that it gave him autonomy over himself."
-- Mom of 12 year old
"Our time with Laura has been a positive and enjoyable week. Tyler never said he didn't want to come or continue. He was always glad to be at Laura's office."
-- Mom of 9 year old
"After the first day of class Dalton started reading signs on the way home. That was a first! After creating a word in clay with you, he started writing a book about his word. That was awesome because he was a non-writer!!"
