Although it affects as many as one in five individuals in the United States and 80 percent of all children labeled as learning disabled, dyslexia remains poorly understood in educational circles. It was the science supporting the clinical diagnosis of dyslexia that led Laura, a physician, and others to start a public charter school in Baton Rouge for children with dyslexia in 2013. The Louisiana Key Academy was developed to connect current science with the identification and education of children with dyslexia. This article presents early screening and effective interventions for dyslexia, along with an overview of the Louisiana Key Academy.
