Brandon Reading Clinic has served the Brandon, FL area and surrounding communities, for over 20 years. Brandon Reading Clinic specializes in treating children with general learning disabilities and reading problems, including dyslexia, reading disabilities, writing disabilities, ADHD and other learning problems. Our reading therapy sessions are conducted in a one on one setting between the student and the reading therapist. We only use scientific, research-based, proven methods in order to produce superior results. Our therapists are highly trained in Lindamood-Bell® programs, as well as Orton Gillingham techniques. Our approach is the best option for many children with reading problems, including those who have tried other treatment programs with disappointing results.
Parents need information and an informed parent can become their childs best advocate. We are happy to consult with parents to assist in understanding the issues associated with learning disabilities and reading problems and the identification and treatment options that are available. If you even suspect that a problem may exist, we strongly encourage you to research the information that is available and to seek a profesional diagnosis. Don't ignore the warning signs - these problems generally do not go away on their own!
The expertise and experience of Brandon Reading Clinic's therapists in addressing reading problems and dyslexia is unparalled. Our specialized programs are research-based and scientifically proven to be the most effective in improving the reading skills of children with learning disabilities, dyslexia and other reading problems.

Tutoring vs. Therapy - There is a difference!
There is an important difference between tutoring and therapy. Tutoring is a teaching model that is most often used in franchise-type learning centers and for those students who might just have a few missing skills that need to be addressed. The term "tutoring" also applies when a student receives basic help with homework (for example, a high school student may tutor a fifth grader). Tutoring is often delivered in group settings of 2 to 5 students. Sometimes the service delivery model is a large room of students seated at individual study desks who are assisted by teachers who monitor the group and assist when needed. Tutoring is an important part of the educational process and is the right choice for many students who need a small boost to improve performance.
Therapy, educationally speaking, is highly individualized (administered in a one-on-one setting), intensive, frequently administered, and specialized. It is delivered by expertly-trained therapists/teachers. It utilizes very specialized and well researched programs that have been developed to treat specific deficits. The student's progress is continually monitored, since the therapy is delivered in a one-to-one delivery model. Progress is also formally measured by standardized tests at regular intervals in order to document progress and maximize/optimize/alter/tweak the individual educational plan. Thereapy is highly effective, especially with students who are experiencing learning difficulities. The specific cause of a learning problem can be identified and can often be remediated much more quickly than with other models.
