Even the most upbeat kid can feel down when faced with failure at school, day after day. Jack was a bright boy with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that was not making a difference. He couldn’t read, and was getting further and further behind his peers; his favorite subject was recess, where he could take…
“He’s set up for success now!” 💙
Jaxson was diagnosed with autism and dyslexia at a young age. By high school, he was still struggling academically. His family turned to Lindamood-Bell for intensive, individualized instruction.
Today, Jaxson is thriving in reading and comprehension and preparing for college! He can even read and enjoy the golf magazines he once only looked through for pictures.
Hear Jaxson’s mom share his inspiring journey and what his progress has meant for their family.

🧠 2011: Georgetown University researchers publish a study showing changes in the brains of children with dyslexia following reading intervention.
Our next milestone highlights research conducted by Georgetown University`s Center for the Study of Learning in collaboration with Lindamood-Bell.
Published in the scientific journal NeuroImage, the study followed children with dyslexia who received eight weeks of instruction using the Seeing Stars® program.
Researchers found significant improvements in reading skills, along with measurable increases in gray matter volume in the brain. Follow-up testing eight weeks later showed that these gains were maintained.
These findings offered encouraging evidence that effective reading instruction can help children with dyslexia improve their reading skills while also supporting changes in the brain.

📖 Our next milestone takes us to 2010, when Nanci Bell published the Symbol Imagery (SI) Test.
This standardized assessment measures a student`s ability to visualize the sounds and letters within words, an important skill for reading and spelling.
The SI Test helps educators identify and monitor skills that underlie word recognition, spelling, and reading fluency.

📚 2006: What happens when an entire school district works to improve reading?
In 2006, researchers from Texas A&M University published a study in the American Educational Research Journal examining reading achievement in Colorado’s Pueblo School District 60, where Lindamood-Bell had been working with schools since 1997 to support students at risk of reading difficulties.
They examined reading scores for students in grades 3–5 over several years and found that schools using Lindamood-Bell instruction made significantly greater gains than schools across Colorado. Those gains increased over time, including in Title I schools.
It was encouraging to see these results, especially in a district where so many students needed additional reading support.

🧠 2004: Georgetown University researchers publish an important study on adult dyslexia and Lindamood-Bell instruction.
Led by Dr. Guinevere Eden and published in the scientific journal Neuron, the study used brain imaging to examine changes in adults with dyslexia following eight weeks of intensive Lindamood-Bell instruction.
Researchers found improvements in reading skills along with changes in brain activity, showing that the adult brain can continue to change and develop with reading instruction.
More than 20 years later, these findings continue to offer hope for adults who struggle with reading.
