About Decoding Dyslexia

The Decoding Dyslexia - Park Cities chapter is open to all parents who reside in Highland Park ISD, whether their children attend district schools, private school, or are homeschooled. Some meetings directly focus on HPISD, but we will always have time to provide general support to any parent.

Our group is led by neighborhood parents and also benefits from the support provided by volunteers with Decoding Dyslexia Texas, Sara Furlich and Christine Chien.

We host educational parent meetings several times each semester with guest speakers who provide information on a variety of topics related to dyslexia. The meetings also give parents an opportunity to learn from and support each other. Please feel free to contact the parent leaders listed below using the PTA Directory or through the contact form on this website.

Decoding Dyslexia – Texas is a grassroots movement driven by Texas families concerned with the limited access to educational interventions for dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities within our schools. Our mission is to raise dyslexia awareness, empower families to support their children, and inform policy-makers on best practices to identify, remediate and support students with dyslexia in Texas schools. www.ddtx.org

Decoding Dyslexia has a strong history of working collaboratively with parents and professionals. www.decodingdyslexia.net
