Who we are
At Comprehensive Literacy Solutions, we believe that different is not deficient. Our work is grounded in the understanding that neurodivergent learners — students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other learning profiles — are not struggling because something is wrong with them. They're struggling because most literacy systems weren't designed with their brains in mind. We're here to change that.
Through evidence-based, ND-affirming resources, planning tools, and professional learning, we support districts, schools, teachers, and families in building effective literacy approaches. Our ND BrainTrust resource suite brings research directly into the hands of practitioners through practical, ready-to-use tools grounded in decades of classroom experience and peer-reviewed research.
