There is a North Haven organization that will help dyslexic students while they are in school. Connecticut wants to see their schools do better when it comes to their education as well. Look for Brookside Elementary School to discuss progress made with their dyslexic students. These classrooms are open for students who want to make headway towards learning language skills.

Flashcards often assist with dyslexic learners.

Flashcard teaching is seeing widespread use within these schools for dyslexic students. Teachers will show a card and ask students to provide a meaning for the word that method of teaching has helped Connecticut students make progress towards important grade level goals. Students make headway and show that they can learn language despite their dyslexic label.

Key takeaways

  1. Literacy How of North Haven is offering training for teachers in dealing with students with dyslexia.
  2. The training can help teachers achieve a certification as a dyslexia practitioner from the International Dyslexia Association, a relatively new certification.
  3. Together with Literacy How, the Norwalk school district created a summer Dyslexia Intervention Clinic, which they plan to carry into the school year by creating a permanent clinic.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
