Dyslexia Resources
When a child is first diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD or any other language-based learning disability, most parents immediately respond by seeking out educational resources to help them and their child better understand it. It is for this very reason that Education Pathways Academy, a school for dyslexia in Florida, has put together this list of resources about dyslexia.
