Why dyslexia therapy isn’t the same as tutoring

Tutoring can help. But a child with dyslexia needs someone trained in the science of reading and licensed to diagnose, not someone working through a generic curriculum.

TUTORING CENTERS

Generic curriculum applied to every child

No diagnostic capability

Often staffed by teachers or college students

Slower progress, longer commitment

No clinical credentials
