The Decoding Dyslexia Mountain Lakes Conference is designed for parents and teachers who want to know more about how to help their children, students, and friends who struggle with dyslexia. The conference will focus on education, gaining tools to help students who have dyslexia, and help create a network of resources for all involved with dyslexia education. The conference will be free. Laura Cassidy, wife of US Senator Bill Cassidy, Louisiana, will be the keynote speaker, as well as many other top dyslexia scholars and advocates in South Carolina. The Cassidy's have transformed Washington by promoting legislation for dyslexia and even founding a school for dyslexic children in Baton Rogue, called Key Academy. We look forward to you attending this first of its kind conference in the upstate of South Carolina!
