ADVOCATE<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Hero\n\tYour Guide to Navigating the
\n World of Dyslexia.\n\t

A guide who knows both worlds. We specialize in “speaking both languages” – the language of dyslexia and the dialect of academic institutions.<\/p>\n

With a deep understanding of dyslexia’s intricacies and the educational system’s dynamics, we act as a crucial intermediary. Our knowledge is your power: turning confusion into clarity, frustration into opportunities, and challenges into victories.<\/p>\n\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tPARENTS\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

We bridge the gap between dyslexia and the classroom, providing parents with the tools they need to ensure their child’s success. We understand<\/i> the challenges, translate<\/i> the needs, and empower<\/i> families to advocate for the support their children deserve.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"DENYING\n\t\t

Are you an attorney faced with a daunting Due Process Hearing or Mediation concerning a child with dyslexia? My specialized service will guide you through the nuanced landscape of dyslexia advocacy. With a deep understanding of dyslexia and years of experience and training in special education advocacy, I can help translate what is known about dyslexia into what you know about the law to provide your clients with the best legal outcomes. <\/p>\t\t\n\t

Crafting the compelling “dyslexia story” of a child is pivotal to the success of your case. I meticulously prepare your exhibits to highlight the unique educational challenges faced by students with dyslexia, ensuring your evidence resonates with clear intent and purpose.<\/p>\n\t

Determining Compensatory Services not only requires deep knowledge of the specific needs of the student, but it also requires a knowledge of where and how the services will be provided. I can help develop a detailed plan of services that works for your client’s specific needs. <\/p>\n\t

When drafting a mediation agreement, it is important that the language used in the agreement clearly outlines the specific requirements needed to ensure that compensatory services offered for dyslexia are provided with appropriate fidelity, intensity, and monitoring. I can help ensure the legal terminology translates appropriately to dyslexia remediation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Daphne_Corder_headshot\"\n\t\t

\n\t\tMY STORY\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

I am a clinical social worker with an extensive history of working with children and families. I have always been drawn to advocating for those who do not have a voice. Whether I was working with foster children, children, and families in a hospital child development center or working with minority populations in a school setting, I wanted to help bring about change.<\/p>\n

When my daughter began having problems in first grade, I was sure that I would know exactly how to get her help with my background in Social Work. I had worked with other children who had disabilities and delays, and I got them help, so this should be easy, right? Little did I know that Dyslexia would be a whole different world for me and that even with my education and background, it would still be the biggest struggle in being a mom. I wondered, “If this is hard for me, what must it be like for other parents?” I soon found out that they had similar or worse situations. I spent the next few years dedicating all my time to learning more. I took many training classes in Dyslexia and Special Education Law. I received a Special Education Advocacy certificate from William and Mary Law School, and I am a member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPPA). I have continued to advocate in my local school district and act as the parent liaison for my daughter’s middle school dyslexia group. I volunteer much of my time with Decoding Dyslexia to help spread its mission of educating and advocating for dyslexia. I also speak to many parent groups on topics related to Dyslexia and Special Education.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Daphe-Lauren-Corder\"\n\t\t\t\t\"Check-Plus-Graphic\"\n
