Calling all students with reading difficulty & their families: Ever wonder what it is like to navigate dyslexia?

Sometimes navigating dyslexia can be like taking your family on a roller coaster ride-it can be difficult, surprising, funny, interesting and even a blessing at times.

Hear directly from a panel of parents, children and staff affected by dyslexia.  They will take your questions and we’ll hear from experts, too.

This is a great session for adults and students.  As always, our meetings are open to parents, children and educators.  We invite you to join us.

When:                      Wednesday, March 21, 6:30 p.m.

Where:                     Heritage Elementary School in the library

ODN is helping to fundraise so that UA Kid’s success story on dyslexia can be told on the big screen. Doing so will help so many more families and schools. Read more here and donate on the link. This is an all-or-nothing fundraising project and we are so very close.
