ABOUT US:

Kanga Dyslexia and Therapy Services, Inc., of Lake Wales, Florida, was formed by Debbie Copple, M.S. CCC/SLP, to help those struggling with reading, spelling, and speech/language disorders.

Debbie is a Florida licensed and ASHA certified speech-language pathologist, a Certified Dyslexia Testing Specialist, a Certified Barton Reading and Spelling tutor for dyslexia, and she has completed training in the Lindamood-Bell Phonemic Sequencing Program LiPS^®

LiPS^®The LiPS program allows children to focus on the actions of the lip, tongue and teeth for sound production. It is designed to develop phonemic awareness, reading and spelling. Research has shown it to be the best predictor of success in learning to read and spell. This program is used specifically for children who lack the phonemic awareness to begin the Barton Reading and Spelling Program. LiPS^®isdesigned to appropriately teach these children to learn from a concrete level with manipulatives and visual cues to an abstract level of self-correction.

What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a genetic learning disability that makes it extremely difficult to read, spell, and write in your native language. It also sometimes manifests itself by difficulties with arithmetic. Dyslexia varies in degree from mild to severe. In mild cases, a person may not read or spell as well as his or her peers, while in severe cases, a person may read, write, and spell well below his or her peers. Dyslexia is NOT related to intelligence. In fact, most dyslexic people are average or above average in intelligence. Dyslexia affects approximately 20% of the population.
What can help?
Individualized multi-sensory approaches, such as the Barton Reading and Spelling system, enable people with dyslexia to use the strengths of their brain to overcome their language processing weaknesses.
