Although dyslexia is lifelong, individuals with dyslexia frequently respond successfully to timely remedial instruction. However, many children with dyslexia do not receive appropriate language arts instruction, never become fluent readers and writers, and become learning disabled adults. The cost to society in underutilized capabilities and to the individuals with dyslexia in terms of low earnings and frustrated aspirations is enormous. How Lexia addresses this problem Lexia was founded to develop computer technology that helps people with learning disabilities and assists their teachers. Computer technology can benefit them in several ways.
Teachers can use computers to plan carefully-structured, multisensory, language arts lessons.
Children and adults can use computers to compensate for poor reading and writing skills. Lexia addresses these opportunities in its software development, research, publications, and community outreach programs. Please refer to the descriptions of specific projects currently underway or recently completed on this web site. Lexia receives funding from individuals, foundations, corporations, and from fees generated by its products and services.
