Dyslexia is an inherited condition that causes difficulty with reading, spelling and writing. According to the National Institutes of Health, dyslexia affects about 20% of the population, or about 1 in 5 individuals. Sherry Black uncovered the great passion within her when she witnessed the heartbreaking academic struggle of her niece as the result of severe dyslexia. She did not know it then, but this experience would be the catalyst for her life’s great work. In 2005, Sherry founded Rise Above Dyslexia, a tutoring center designed to provide research-based instruction for students who struggle with dyslexia. Their passion is to empower you or someone you love to become independent, inspired and successful. It is never too late to begin research-based intervention. At Rise Above Dyslexia, they serve the Boise area and Treasure Valley with two main services:
1) Targeted Dyslexia Tutoring: We provide intensive instruction in spelling, reading, basic grammar and punctuation, using proven research-based tutoring methods specifically for students with dyslexia.
2) Consultations and Screenings: At Rise Above Dyslexia, we also provide consultations and screenings. To view the warning signs of dyslexia, click here: http://www.riseabovedyslexia.com/does-my-child-have-dyslexia/
