For parents seeking help and accommodations for their children with dyslexia, navigating the education system can be a challenging and often isolating experience.  The good news is that thousands of parents are discovering that they are not alone.

 

In this free webinar, you'll join in engaging conversation with experienced moms Deborah Lynam, Liz Barnes and Kathy Stratton - all parents and co-founders of the fast-growing Decoding Dyslexia movement. As Deborah, Liz and Kathy share their amazing personal stories, you'll gain insights into

  • How to become a persuasive and courageous advocate for your child;
  • The stunning array of misconceptions about dyslexia that pervade
    school systems;
  • Ways to thoroughly educate yourself about your child's rights;
  • Strategies to forge agreements with teachers and administrators;
  • Tips to stay strong for the long haul.

Our speakers will also highlight the power of networking and communication - sharing an inside look at how Decoding Dyslexia is becoming a national force for parental advocacy and systemic change.
