Working with Open Door Educational Services has been truly life-changing for our family. When we started, my daughter was overwhelmed and discouraged, she used to say she was stupid, that she couldn’t read, and she would cry in frustration. As a parent, that is heartbreaking to witness. The progress she has made in such a short period of time has been remarkable. Not only has her reading improved, but her confidence has grown in ways I didn’t know were possible. Now she reads, and watching her do so often brings me to tears, for an entirely different reason. What surprised me just as much was how much this process illuminated my own lifelong challenges with dyslexia. The understanding, compassion, and skill that Open Door brings extends beyond academics; it reshapes how a child (and a parent) sees themselves. I am deeply grateful for the impact they’ve had on my daughter’s learning, her self-belief, and on our family as a whole. 💛
