Building community while breaking down barriers for individuals with dyslexia.
Arkansas Valley Advocates for Dyslexia (AVAD)'s vision is that students with dyslexia in the Arkansas River Valley have a supportive community and are empowered with the knowledge, tools, resources and confidence to advocate on behalf of their own education, identify their needs and strengths, and realize their full potential.
We are driven by the following core values:
Celebrate strengths/ diversity.
Increase recognition that 1 in 5 students have dyslexia- no student should feel embarrassed, ashamed or “stupid”.
Parents and teachers need support to provide support.
All students should have access to evaluations and appropriate instruction and accommodations.
When we know better, we do better.
Arkansas Valley Advocates for Dyslexia (AVAD)'s mission is to build community and provide training and resources in support of students with dyslexia and affect positive change toward embedded support in our educational systems.
