Our Learning Centers
Lindamood-Bell has evolved
from a small Learning Center in San Luis Obispo, CA
to an organization with over 60 Learning Centers
and dozens of seasonal clinics.
When you open our door you’ll notice
a difference right away.
Our welcoming and comfortable space sets the climate for student learning.
We are committed to teaching
all children and adults to read and comprehend. Our research-validated instruction is our foundation.
We strive to provide exceptional instruction
at each of our Learning Centers, where we can control the primary factors that impact the quality of how our programs are implemented with students.
What To Expect
Learn More About Our Instruction
Our instruction helps a wide range of individuals, children & adults, by developing the language processing
that is critical to becoming a proficient learner.
Problem
Difficulty with reading words on the page, recognizing sight words, reading fluency, and spelling. Students with these symptoms may be labeled as dyslexic.
Solution
Establish the underlying skills of symbol imagery, phoneme awareness, and orthographic processing.
Problem
Difficulty with understanding, remembering, inferring, following directions, and critical thinking from written and oral material.
Solution
Develop concept imagery to create mental representations for oral and written language. (Like making a movie in your mind’s eye.)
Problem
Difficulty holding math facts, functional concepts, as well as weak word problem solving skills.
Solution
Apply symbol and concept imagery to arithmetic and mathematical reasoning. This improves computational skills and the ability to solve word problems.
Lindamood-Bell does not diagnose, or label, any individuals we work with; however, many students have come to us with a previous diagnosis.
These self-reported labels have included:
Dyslexia, Hyperlexia, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) {Asperger’s Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)}, Specific Learning Disability; Others:Down Syndrome, CAPD, Fragile X, TBI, Deaf, Gifted
Many adults experience weakness in one or more sensory-cognitive areas. These challenges may affect their work performance and limit their opportunities for advancement.
Instruction is differentiated and specific to the adult student’s need. Many of our adult students find great success.

Swipe for a blast from the past ➡️
Forty years ago, we set out with a belief that every child can learn to read when given the right tools.
Since then, we`ve witnessed the impossible become possible. Children once told they would “never be good readers” becoming fluent. Students finding confidence as they decode, comprehend, and even fall in love with books. Families moving from fear to relief to joy, sometimes in just weeks.
When Lindamood-Bell was founded in 1986, the science was still emerging. We built our work on the idea that reading is sensory-cognitive, that the brain must see and feel language to truly understand it.
Forty years later, the science is catching up.
And we are still here, watching minds change one learner at a time. Read more about the journey at the link in bio, @lindamoodbellofficial.
Educators: struggling to close math achievement gaps?
Many students cannot form mental images of math concepts, leading to memorization instead of real understanding.
