The Code Academy is determined to provide access to dyslexia intervention support without the financial barrier. It is often challenging to navigate the best academic options for children diagnosed with dyslexia, as specialized private schools and tutors can be expensive. In contrast, public schools fail to provide students with the essential foundation to succeed. The Code Academy is fully committed to helping students with literacy challenges receive the education they deserve through scholarships to attend the Dyslexia School of Houston, a private tutoring program focused on decoding dyslexia and related learning challenges.
