We were founded in 2014 because there is a severe lack of support and services in our region. Our goal is to be Western Colorado's resource clearinghouse and provide services and funds to families for: 1. Identification, screening, and testing for learning disabilities for youth in our community. 2. Interventions and/or tutoring for the child. 3. Assistive technologies for classroom use. Educational Screening for dyslexia - screening and consultation for early intervention of children with reading struggles. Consists of 2.5-hour appointments with qualified educators and professionals to outline educational plans for the support offered at little to no cost to families. Number of screenings offered in 2023: 102; people impacted including individual screened and related family: 255 0 26924 Financial scholarship for students with dyslexia - money provided to families and professionals for intervention tutoring, assistive technologies, and additional diagnostic testing related to dyslexia.
