Partners for Parents
One-to-One Assistance
| There are many resources available that provide basic information about what it means to have dyslexia. Our Partners for Parents program is free and one of the few services in Minnesota that personally guides families of struggling readers to help them navigate the school system and advocate for their children.
Services include but are not limited to: one-to-one consultations, review of IEPs and evaluations, prep for IEP meetings, review parent concern letters and help draft conversations with the school. If you would like guidance in advocating for your student, please contact Partners for Parents; call or text 612-356-2707 or email keak@decodingdyslexiamn.org. (If you have sent an email and haven’t received a response in a timely manner, please check your junk email folder.) This is a free program available to families of struggling readers in Minnesota funded by a grant. |

“The Partners for Parents program is absolutely invaluable resource for parents. In an era of overwhelming amounts of resources but little time to sift through everything, having the ability to connect 1:1 with an expert like Kea provides a life raft to families who feel like they are drowning in the ocean of complexity that is navigating dyslexia in the current school system. Kea’s direct but compassionate approach helped me feel supported and empowered and set on a manageable path with a curated list of resources to help me along the way. Thank you Kea and Decoding Dyslexia MN!”
