The class is for those who struggle with reading and spelling and who feel that this struggle is holding them back from reaching their true potential.

Dyslexia Day 2022 Video
Decoding Dyslexia Georgia brought together author Kelli Sandman-Hurley, Cameron Mattingly, and Cindy Lumpkin to discuss Kelli’s book The Adult Side of Dyslexia. The discussion centers around adult dyslexia, how early childhood educational situations have long-term impacts on a person’s life, and how adding the voices of adults with dyslexia to all conversations about dyslexia is a critical, but often missing piece.
