DYSLEXIA SCHOOL
OF HOUSTON

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.” Adopted by the IDA Board of Directors, Nov. 12, 2002.

To solve these problems and provide what so many of her students come to know as “the first good instruction,” she launched a school specifically for students who aren’t receiving the education they need through traditional curriculum, and the Dyslexia School of Houston was born.

TESTIMONIALS

Tammy and Linda, I would like to express my gratitude for how wonderful yall are. My daughter actually enjoyed her Dyslexia testing with Linda! Your company is kind, sensitive, obviously experienced and a joy to work with. I would recommend you to everyone! Thank you for making this process easier and for making my daughter feel so comfortable!

The Code Academy was a life changing experience for my son and our entire family. Carter started out being unable to sound out simple words, and avoiding reading completely. With the explicit structured literacy approach from TCA he now reads for enjoyment! We can't say enough wonderful things about Mrs. Tammy and what she has created, a safe place for all kids to be taught the way they learn.
