Give the Gift of Literacy

"A number of circumstances lead to us reaching out to DSF for assistance with a 12 year old who was functionally illiterate. Individual reading therapy is something that seemed completely out of reach for our family due to financial reasons. We are shocked and in awe at the generosity of donors who are able to make such a highly efficacious program available to us!"

"Through the amazing generosity of donors, a very thoughtfully laid out reading therapy program, and a very professional, patient, yet demanding therapist, our now 13 year old has grown considerably in his self confidence. He is now able to navigate life with the indispensable skill of reading. His reading skills have grown exponentially over the past 10 months, as evidenced at home, school, and in his daily life. Thank you, DSF!”

"I am pleased to inform you Garrick has dramatically improved in his academics and enjoying school. There are no words to express my deepest gratitude for the DSF-funded therapy help my son Garrick received. Within a year's time he made a dramatic impact in his academics and continues to pass his classes. Which would not have been possible without the help of the DSF-funded therapy. The in school dyslexia program was not providing any improvement. The one-on-one care from DSF was exactly what he needed to improve his academic quality."

"His reading and writing grew leaps and bounds because of the intervention therapy provided! DSF funded therapy was a definite blessing for us; we would not have been able to afford it without financial assistance. This therapy has made a world of difference for my son and we are very grateful!"

"He is now above grade level and no longer struggles with school. Being able to receive funding made a huge impact on our family. We would not have been able to get him any intervention without it."

When we checked back with him at age 15, Mark said this, "I am a freshman [in High School], taking advanced and honors classes. I made the honor roll this year, even while playing soccer and baseball! I also discovered I enjoy reading mysteries."

Mark's mother shared this, "The DSF made it possible for my son to climb out of the brambles of frustration surrounding reading. Negativity touched all aspects of education for Mark, before reading therapy. Under the leadership of his reading specialist and through hard work and discipline, he gained decoding skills he uses even today. The biggest blessings were he gained confidence, he began to enjoy reading (!), and was no longer falling behind in his school reading. This changed his life dramatically. We are forever grateful!"

"My son started on a kindergarten level and now thanks to the program and the scholarship my son is on a 3rd grade reading level. If it wasn't for the scholarship my son would not be where he is now. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts."

"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable support provided by the Dyslexia Services Foundation. My daughter Olivia, received a scholarship that allows her to receive Lexercise online reading therapy for 20 weeks.

"In just 17 weeks of Lexercise Professional Therapy, Olivia has achieved remarkable progress in her passage reading. She has advanced by 2 reading levels since her initial assessment, which is truly remarkable. The consistent practice and repetition within the program have significantly boosted Olivia’s confidence. Your unwavering support has made a tangible difference, and we are witnessing the positive impact firsthand."

"Excelling in reading and developing the tools necessary for Dyslexia. Amazing program! Zarissa went from reading pre-k level in the 2nd grade to reading chapter books in 4th grade!"
