Do you know a struggling reader?

We can help!

Our mission is to support all - particularly underserved populations - with screening services, dyslexia assessments, advocacy services, and community education. Contact us at info@dyslexiaadvocates.org to schedule a meeting with Dr. Tinkham and/or learn about possible subsidies for services.


We also subsidize tuition for tutors and teachers who seek more education in evidence-based approaches to teaching literacy and reading remediation.

Our Services

Dyslexia Screenings

Screenings help identify students who are at risk for dyslexia. With screening results, families can figure out whether further intervention and/or assessment is needed. A screening is helpful for a younger student who is struggling with reading.

Dyslexia Assessments

A dyslexia assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of reading and related processes. The result of this assessment will be a written report, and possibly a diagnosis. Assessments inform recommendations about appropriate interventions and accommodations. 

Individual Advocacy Support
