Getting to Know the INW Dyslexia Alliance
Creating Lasting Change, Together.
Dyslexia affects 1 in 5 people, yet many still lack access to the support they need. At the INW Dyslexia Alliance, we’re breaking down barriers—so students can thrive in school and beyond.
-
Access to evidence-based training and structured literacy support varies widely across schools. Families searching for help often turn to private literacy intervention—individualized lessons delivered twice weekly—which can cost over $400 a month, putting it out of reach for many.
-
The INW Dyslexia Alliance partners with schools to provide professional development for educators and offers free training for caregivers—equipping them with tools, community, and a supportive space to better help struggling readers.
Our "donate-what-you-can" model ensures access for families of all income levels.
Through events like Clues for a Cause, we raise awareness and inspire action.
We also foster strategic partnerships that expand access, drive advocacy, and amplify the voices of those affected by dyslexia.

Your support helps us:
