WILDD’s mission is to unleash the gifts of dyslexic/specific learning disabled children and adults so they may achieve the full potential they deserve and of which they are capable; through identification, remediation, support, outreach, community education and advocacy.  WILDD works to move dyslexic children and adults from isolation and frustration to independence and equal footing with their peers.  WILDD is a non-profit organization that addresses dyslexia—an estimated fifteen to twenty percent of the population—through Academic Therapy, Community Outreach and Training & Professional Consultation. 
	
Through Academic Therapy, WILDD moves dyslexic children and adults from the frustration and isolation with which they live, to the independence and peer equality they deserve and of which they are capable.  WILDD provides research-developed and evidence-based academic therapy that builds resiliency and successfully remediates language deficits associated with dyslexia.  WILDD creates learning and living independence that allows people with dyslexia to achieve success and compete with their peers in school, higher education, the workforce and their community.

Through Community Outreach WILDD develops and enhances partnerships that support a community-wide response to the needs of dyslexic children and adults, provide public education and acceptance of the prevalence of dyslexia, and dispel dangerous myths that can contribute to academic and economic inequality.

Through Training & Professional Consulting WILDD trains personnel at education institutions, including but not limited PK-12, higher education, prison education programs and other institutional education programs, on the delivery of WILDD’s evidence-based method of academic therapy.  Services also include training on the social-emotional impact of dyslexia and consultation to schools on how to best incorporate WILDD’s academic therapy method into existing curriculum goals and outcome objectives.
