Dr. Sally Shaywitz at Louisiana Key Academy.

A Message from YCDC Co-Directors Drs. Sally & Bennett Shaywitz

Join Us in Louisiana

Physician-scientists and YCDC co-directors Drs. Bennett and Sally Shaywitz care passionately about dyslexia and the futures of children who are dyslexic.

The Drs. Shaywitz strongly support charter schools for dyslexic children and congratulate Dr. Laura Cassidy for all her efforts and commitment in founding the Louisiana Key Academy (LKA).

LKA truly leads the way in providing the environment; the educators; the consistent, evidence-based instruction and accommodations; and support necessary for dyslexic boys and girls to thrive, to learn and to gain self-esteem as capable learners.
