"The diagnosis of dyslexia can be overwhelming for a family. Your child is frustrated from working so hard to read, write, and spell without reaching success. Worse yet, classmates and siblings may be exceling, which only adds to the frustration. The dyslexia diagnosis can be a relief, but what does it mean? What happens next? What does the future hold? It is important for families to have accurate information to understand the diagnosis and intervention. An informed parent is an empowered parent.

About the Presenter: Mary Yarus became a dyslexia therapist following her daughter’s diagnosis of dyslexia. After working eight years in private practice, she joined the Family Support Office at Neuhaus Education Center, later transitioning to the role of Vice President of both Family Support and the Adult Literacy program which provided services for students ranging from 18 to 80. Mary currently trains dyslexia interventionists for the Region 4 Education Service Center in Houston, Texas. As an avid reader, it is difficult to imagine a life without the ability to read a homework assignment, take a driver’s written exam, read a menu, read a simple book to your child, or so many other day-to-day activities that most of us take for granted. Mary is passionate about empowering teachers and students with knowledge about reading to enhance the lives of generations to come. " After registering, you will receive a link to the youtube video.
