There are 60,000,000 people in the US with dyslexia. The learning disability affects children the most. It causes struggles and isolation from other children in school

A company based in Raleigh has made a major breakthrough in diagnosing and treating dyslexia by using teletherapy. The company has focused on making therapy affordable and efficient for the average family. Tuition at a special needs school can cost up to $20,000—not all families can afford this. 


The program uses traditional therapy methods in an unconventional way. Remotely, children receive one-on-one attention from licensed therapists.

The program helped Michael Ferman raise his grades. In the comfort of his own home, he received the attention he needed from a licensed professional.
