We empower educators to move beyond the program to confidently serve all dyslexic students in reading, writing, and beyond.

Each student with dyslexia has a unique learning profile. In the Empowered Beyond the Program Membership, you'll get the answers to these questions:
✅ How do we ensure we address the unique needs of our students?
✅ What can I do to implement appropriate scaffolds? Differentiation? Spiraling?
✅ Where do I begin?
✅ How can I be diagnostic and prescriptive?
