October is Dyslexia Awareness Month
To promote dyslexia awareness, we have organized or are planning several events for the month of October. Two of the events are listed below. Please stay tuned and check in with the NCBIDA website for other upcoming events.
Kick-off event
Blazing Your Path: Straight Talk for Teens with Learning Disabilities

Sacred Heart Preparatory (Campbell Center)

If you are a teen with a learning disability, chances are you have hit some bumps in the road to academic success. Life paths that work for others may not be right for you. Join dyslexic writer/ activist Jonathan Mooney and a panel of young adults as they share strategies for blazing a personal path to success. Students, parents, and educators are welcome!
