Arkansas Valley Advocates for Dyslexia

Arkansas Valley Advocates for Dyslexia (AVAD)'s mission is to raise dyslexia awareness and offer financial support for individuals with dyslexia within the Arkansas Valley.  There are many myths and misconceptions about dyslexia.  One of our goals is to dispel those myths and educate the community on the strengths and struggles associated with dyslexia.  In addition, useful supports for dyslexia are expensive!  Another one of our goals is to support families and individuals by helping with the financial burden of evaluations, tutoring by qualified individuals, and adaptive technology.  When a person with dyslexia is given the supports they need and the ones research shows help, their extraordinary gifts have a chance to shine.  Let's give our friends and family with dyslexia the opportunity to unleash all they have to offer!
