The Children’s Dyslexia Center of Lancaster offers free tutoring for children with a dyslexic profile and trains tutors to use Orton-Gillingham multisensory method for remediation. Dyslexia is an inherited neurological disorder affecting the way people learn to read and speak. Children with untreated dyslexia often suffer devastating personal consequences. The number one reason teens drop out of school, it’s a treatable condition and the earlier help is received, the greater the chance of achieving a normal, fully functional life. Since opening in 2002, the CDCL has remediated the reading and written language skills of 200+ children and trained 50+ tutors. The CDCL tutors children regardless of race, ethnicity, economic status, or religious affiliation. For over two decades, the Scottish Rite Masons, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, have been national leaders in the effort to help children overcome the painful obstacles of dyslexia.
The Children's Dyslexia Center of Lancaster is a dedicated organization of people who believe every child should have access to high quality reading and writing instruction. Our mission is to provide high-quality, multisensory tutorial services for children with dyslexia, to promote education and awareness about dyslexia, and to support research for improving dyslexia standards and care.
