Our therapists have some of the highest levels of training in dyslexia intervention, and are licensed by the State of AZ. Our mission, to ensure the success of every client, begins with an interview with our Executive Director and Founder, Linda Barr. Our therapists' years of experience with helping students to fulfill their potentials, has taught us that it is vital to listen to you and to give you an opportunity to discuss your child's history, and your current concerns.

Then, watch the transformation begin as we use the latest reading research, and Orton Gillingham based, multisensory techniques to provide the best possible outcomes for your child.

Our History

AZ Dyslexia Center was formed to fill the need for qualified Reading Therapy Services for children and youth with dyslexia or suspected dyslexia. Our group is comprised of extremely well-educated Reading Therapists. We are dyslexia specialists and teachers who have been trained in Orton-Gillingham reading programs and understand the need for multi-sensory instruction. We use explicit Orton-Gillingham based reading programs that have proven to be successful for students who have a specific disability in the areas of reading or written expression.

At AZ Dyslexia Center, our goal is to give you a step-by-step approach to help you understand what dyslexia is (and what it is not), develop an action plan, begin to get help, and become your own best advocate. In addition, we provide advocacy services, consultations, records review and presentations about dyslexia for teachers, other interested groups and the public.

What We Believe

As reading therapists, we believe that every student, regardless of learning style or academic challenges, deserves all the tools to be successful. We strive to make our students responsible and empowered individuals who take ownership of their learning.

As specialists in dyslexia, we understand the struggles students and families endure until there is a reason to find hope. At AZDC they find that reason for hope. This is our passion. We want to help your child and your family.

When students realize they simply learn differently, they are free to discover the real joy of learning!

We offer a free phone consultation to determine if our services meet the needs of your child and family. We look forward to meeting with you! If you have questions, please contact us at (480) 716-6336.
