The Roadmap to Success
Our success is driven by a research-based model that transforms the lives of students with dyslexia.
Our Five Pillars of Success

We are accredited by the International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council (IMSLEC), ensuring fidelity to the highest standards in dyslexia instruction.
90 Minutes of Daily Small-Group Language Instruction
Students receive intensive, individualized language therapy every day to accelerate reading progress and build lasting confidence.
Licensed Language Therapists on Staff
Our classrooms are led by Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs), trained through a rigorous two-year program to deliver expert, therapeutic instruction.
Full Academic Program Aligned to State Standards
Beyond language instruction, LKA offers a full curriculum aligned with Louisiana state standards—preparing students for success across all subjects.
Winner of the National YASS Prize
LKA was honored with the prestigious YASS Prize for its transformational impact and scalable model—leading the way in dyslexia education nationwide.
“Louisiana Key is the gold standard for students with dyslexia and is a wonderful model for the rest of the country.”
— Dr. Sally E. Shaywitz, Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity
In a state where 40% of fourth graders read below basic levels, LKA stands as a beacon of hope—featured in Overcoming Dyslexia as the gold standard in dyslexia education and nationally recognized by leaders like Dr. Sally Shaywitz of the Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity.
