Children who have dyslexia view reading as a painful experience. As a result of the services provided by a Center, their attitude toward reading, and of greater importance, toward school and themselves, has been dramatically and positively changed. The northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the ancient Accepted Scottish Rite is committed to providing programs to treat childhood dyslexia in individualized, cost-effective and clinically responsible ways. Experience to date has proven that the need for these services exceeds the existing number of Centers and, therefore, it is our hope and intention to meet this need with the establishment of additional Centers.
