from Voices of Dyslexia · host Dyslexia Resource Center

In this enlightening episode, we delve into the origins, mission, and scientific foundations of Louisiana Key Academy, a tuition-free school dedicated to students with moderate to severe dyslexia. We discuss the prevalence of dyslexia, the importance of early identification, and the significant impact of specialized education on dyslexic students. Learn about the state’s efforts in screening for dyslexia, and how early intervention can prevent long-term academic struggles and low self-esteem. Join us as we explore how Louisiana Key Academy is making a difference and the imperative need for more schools like it. 🤔 Think you or your child might be dyslexic?
