Effective Reading & Writing Support Services
Helping Students of All Ages Overcome Learning Challenges
At Hurdles Dyslexia Clinic Inc, we know that struggling with reading, writing, or spelling can affect more than just grades — it impacts confidence, motivation, and even how a student feels about school. That’s why we offer individualized online and in-person services for learners of all ages, whether or not they have a formal diagnosis of dyslexia, dysgraphia, or Irlen Syndrome.
We meet each student where they are, adjusting our methods to fit their learning style, pace, and personality. Every lesson is designed to help them make real, measurable progress in a safe, encouraging space.
Our Teaching Philosophy

- Safe, judgment-free learning where students feel supported
