Support Groups

Do you know a bright child who struggles to read or write? Are you having trouble navigating the special education process, but don’t know where to turn?  Research shows that 1 out of 5 students struggle with reading and spelling.  You are not alone.  Meet us for a casual evening of support and discussion.  You will learn more about the Decoding Dyslexia CA movement and have a chance to meet with other parents of children with dyslexia.

In addition to the local support groups listed below, join the DDCA Private Facebook group for parents/guardians to connect with other families for virtual support.

Join one of our groups listed below, by DDCA Region, north to south.
