Back-to-School Tips for a Successful Year!

Back-to-school season can bring excitement, new routines, and sometimes a little stress. For students with dyslexia, having predictable routines and simple organizational strategies can make the transition easier.

While ADHD and dyslexia are different, some strategies can be helpful for students with either learning difference.

A few ideas to try:
• Create a consistent morning routine
• Use visual reminders or checklists
• Keep schoolwork organized with simple systems
• Set a regular homework time and take short breaks
• Stay connected with your child's teachers and school

For more back-to-school tips for families, check out this helpful resource from Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to our incredible therapists at the Dyslexia Institute of Southern New Mexico!
This week, we celebrate the dedication, patience, creativity, and care our therapists bring to students every single day. They do so much more than teach reading and learning skills. They encourage confidence, celebrate growth, and help students discover their strengths.
We are also grateful for the many ways they support our community beyond the classroom, including helping make our recent student art show such a success.
Thank you to our amazing DISNM therapists for all that you do. We appreciate you more than you know! Back row: Ms. Zeta, Ms. Ardith, Ms. Cheryl. Front row: Ms. Ute, Ms. Ellen. Not pictured: Ms. Shannon.

Dear Friends of the Dyslexia Institute of Southern New Mexico,

We are so grateful for your continued support and your passion for our mission to make dyslexia therapy accessible to as many students as possible.
We are excited to share that we are expanding our services to the East Mesa, in addition to the 7 therapists currently serving students at the Electronic Caregiver Building. With more students comes a greater need, and we are ready to grow!

Right now, we have a wonderful opportunity to make your support go even further. Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico is offering a dollar-for-dollar match for the first $500 donated through the Southern New Mexico website, from April 13 through April 24.

As you consider the many meaningful organizations participating, we hope you will consider supporting DISNM. Every gift will be put to work making a real difference in the lives of our students.

You can donate here:
