Custom Dyslexia Support Plan 

The DRC understands that providing your students with the best education possible is important to you, and we can help. We can evaluate your current dyslexia support program and offer supplemental suggestions. DRC consulting services support implementing dyslexia programs or bolstering your school district's current services. 


We offer instructional support for classroom teachers and paraeducators. DRC can help your Special Education department identify students with dyslexia and formulate individual education plans (IEPs). 


Contact us to learn more about how we can support your school district. 

Professional Development Workshops 

If your school district needs dyslexia teacher certifications or whole-group professional development, DRC can customize half-day or full-day workshops about student learning outcomes and coordinate your workshop packages with your district's master calendar.

Add a Certified Academic Language Therapist or Practitioner (CALT or CALP) to your roster. With our 6-course + practicum Dyslexia Therapy Training Program, learn the science of reading, the science of dyslexia, and an in-depth study of the structure of the English language, including the most recent evidence supporting student fluency, vocabulary, oral language, and more. Contact us to learn more about our afternoon and evening programs once per week. 

Screening & Testing Services 

Universal Screening for Dyslexia should begin at the end of kindergarten. DRC offers a reliable and affordable dyslexia screening tool, the Shaywitz Dyslexia Screener. 

Online Dyslexia Therapy (Tutoring) 

With our online, evidence-based tutoring program, you can offer services to help children with dyslexia learn how to read and comprehend what they've read. Our tutors are Certified Academic Language Therapists/Practitioners (CALT/P) or currently training with us under the direct supervision of a CALT/P Qualified Instructor. We hold one-hour tutoring sessions three times per week and can coordinate with after-school programs. If you're a CALT or CALP, become a DRC tutor.

Success Stories 
Stephanie Zimmerman
CALP - Certification Coursework (Online)
I am astonished after completing just the beginning summer coursework for the dyslexia practitioner certification! I applied in the interest of gaining a deeper understanding of dyslexia for my job position, which in turn helped me for my family as well! I have already gained a great deal of confidence in knowing what dyslexia is, the manifestations of dyslexia, the necessary components for evidence-based remediation instruction and most importantly, the significance of early identification. I am extremely thankful for this opportunity and eagerly await what's to come!

The Dyslexia Resource Center is an amazing place for people who want to further their knowledge of dyslexia and how to help students with dyslexia. The instructors and instructors-in-training are so knowledgeable and present the information in ways that are easy to understand. It is truly what you wish you had learned in college. After two years in the face-to-face cohort, I feel confident in my abilities to identify and help students who are dyslexic. The classwork and contact hours spent with students are well worth every minute. If you want to become a Certified Academic Language Practitioner or Therapist, the DRC in Baton Rouge is a wonderful place, as they are passionate about helping struggling students with dyslexia.
