Decoding Dyslexia Kentucky: A Parent Grassroots Movement
http://www.decodingdyslexia.net/
Parents across the United States, feeling a lack of attention at school to the needs of their children diagnosed with Dyslexia, formed state Dyslexia groups in an effort to provide awareness of the disability and to equip educators, parents, and legislators with information to make better choices, laws, and expectations for all children. The volunteers at Decoding Dyslexia Kentucky often have informational presentations or awareness training for the public for free or for a nominal fee.
The best information about the Kentucky organization is on their Facebook page. You can link to it here: https://www.facebook.com/decodingdyslexiaky
