Decoding Dyslexia New Brunswick is a grassroots movement driven by families concerned with the limited access to educational interventions for Dyslexia and related language-based Learning Disabilities within the New Brunswick Education System.  

 

We are part of a network of chapters across Canada and the US working together to achieve systemic change in our region while also championing the gifts found in Dyslexic thinking.
