The harsh reality when it comes to dyslexia is this – you can’t afford to wait for your child’s school to figure it out because that may never happen. Studies show one in five kids struggles with dyslexia, but federal education laws don’t require schools to screen or test for it. And a child who can’t keep up with peers, who’s embarrassed when another child sees his class work, or who feels stupid every day at school is at risk for lifelong emotional scarring.
But parents don’t have to sit back and watch it happen anymore. There are steps you can take to help your child if you suspect they have dyslexia. And in this audio, you’ll hear all about them from Susan Barton, founder of Bright Solutions For Dyslexia. She’s going to tell you how to identify the classic warning signs and how to help your child overcome them at home and at school.

However, it’s never too early (or too late) to get started. And in this audio, you’ll hear the latest and greatest strategies for success.
