About
IDEAS - Impacting Dyslexia Education Awareness and Support
was created by two moms in Plano, Texas who felt
isolated and were struggling to find help for their dyslexic kids.
When they met they realized how much help they were to each other,
sharing information and advice. They created IDEAS to try and reach
others. Dyslexic students have unique needs and it can be a
confusing and stressful road to travel alone. They hope that by
sharing ideas and information, they might be able to help alleviate
the isolation and confusion for other parents and create a positive
environment for progress and change.
IDEAS holds monthly speakers and also informal
coffee talks during the school year.
IDEAS strives to connect our parents, caretakers
and teachers with resources and information.
IDEAS creates a community spirit where people feel
empowered and connected.
IDEAS promotes awareness and educates the community
at large.
Together we hope to promote effective changes that will have a
positive impact on all students with dyslexia.
