MANY DYSLEXICS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY CREATIVE AND PRODUCTIVE, SEEING THE WORLD IN A WAY THAT HAS HISTORICALLY LED TO SOLVING HUGE PROBLEMS AND MAKING ENORMOUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WORLD. STATISTICALLY, 15-20% PERCENT OF THE POPULATION HAS DYSLEXIA (1 IN 5 PEOPLE). DYSLEXIC LEARNERS NEED A MULTI-SENSORY CURRICULUM THAT TEACHES BASIC SKILLS, AND THE SKILLS MUST BE MASTERED BEFORE MOVING ON. CURRENTLY IN MANY PARTS OF THE UPSTATE, TO GET NEEDED INSTRUCTION FOR DYSLEXIC LEARNERS, PARENTS MUST FIND A SPECIALLY TRAINED TUTOR OR DRIVE TO GREENVILLE TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS. THE SCHOOLS AND TUTORS ARE EXPENSIVE AND FILLED TO CAPACITY WITH WAITING LISTS.LAKES AND BRIDGES CHARTER SCHOOL MEETS THE NEEDS OF THESE STUDENTS AT A PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL, FREE OF TUITION.
