What Is Dyslexia Therapy?

Dyslexia therapy is specialized support designed to help individuals with dyslexia develop reading, writing, and language processing skills while building on their inherent cognitive strengths.

Dyslexia affects how the brain processes written language, but it often comes with remarkable abilities in creative thinking, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning.

At IMPACT, we understand that dyslexia is not a reflection of intelligence or effort—it's a different way of processing language. Our therapy focuses on developing effective reading strategies while celebrating the unique talents that often accompany dyslexic minds, including enhanced creativity, strong reasoning skills, and exceptional problem-solving abilities.
