Dyslexia Screening That's Always Free

Dyslexia affects 1 in 5 students, but most won't receive a formal diagnosis until well after the window for early intervention has passed. As a pediatrician, you are often the first professional to hear a parent's concern. That referral you make today can change the entire trajectory of a child's education.

LKA has made that referral simple.



Refer a patient to Louisiana Key Academy and their family gets access to a free, confidential dyslexia screening through the Dyslexia Resource Center — designed by dyslexia experts and built around the Shaywitz method from the Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity. No cost to the family. No complicated next steps. Just answers. If the screening points toward dyslexia, LKA is ready. Small classrooms. Ninety minutes of structured literacy instruction every day. A tuition-free, K–12 public charter school built exclusively for students who learn this way.

The Only Louisiana School Endorsed by Yale's Dyslexia Experts

Louisiana Key Academy stands alone as the only school in Louisiana endorsed by Drs. Sally and Bennett Shaywitz, world-renowned leaders at the Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity. This prestigious endorsement reflects our unwavering commitment to evidence-based instruction and exceptional outcomes for students with dyslexia.
