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.

ENROLLMENT

It’s never too late to ensure your child receives a fantastic education. Dyslexia School of Houston offers literacy-first educational instruction to learners ranging from two to 10 years of age (and, we always support our students once they “age out” of our program!). For many, we are truly their students’ first good instruction and we take this responsibility very seriously.

Wondering if your child would thrive at Dyslexia School of Houston? The answer is likely a resounding “yes!” especially if they (or you):

  • Have unsuccessfully tried (and felt like you failed) to navigate another school district or system’s special education or accommodation process

  • Have already been diagnosed with dyslexia or your suspect they may have a dyslexia diagnosis

  • Are constantly frustrated by spelling, reading, word processing, etc. and may avoid these types of activities or shut down altogether

It’s not too late to join our Dyslexia School of Houston community.

TAMMY SPENCER

Founder
After devoting many years of service to HISD, our founder Tammy Spencer understood how broken our public school systems are. She understood how many families struggled to receive a timely dyslexia diagnosis, and how many students lacked the essential foundation they needed to move forward in their education. 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.
