Bright Solutions YouTube Channel
Here's an example video from the Bright Solutions YouTube Channel which has lots of videos about dyslexia.


International Dyslexia Association (IDA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals with dyslexia, their families and the communities that support them.

Learning Ally is a membership organization supporting people with dyslexia and print disabilities. Audiobooks and parent support services help students do better in school and in life. 

National Center for Learning Disabilities is a website dedicated to improving the lives of all people with learning difficulties and disabilities by empowering parents, enabling young adults, transforming schools, and creating policy and advocacy impact.
Decoding Dyslexia - MO is a grassroots movement driven by MO families concerned with the limited access to educational interventions for dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities within our public schools. We aim to raise dyslexia awareness, empower families to support their children and inform policy-makers on best practices to identify, remediate and support students with dyslexia in MO schools.
IDA Fact Sheets On Dyslexia and Related Language-Based Learning Disabilities presents facts about many topics pertaining to dyslexia for parents, educators, adults and college students as well as general information.
An excellent resource for the classroom teacher is Dyslexia in the Classroom.  The International Dyslexia Association created this booklet to help teachers pinpoint students with dyslexia – and know how to help them.

Susan Barton: A Strength Based Approach to Dyslexia

Books
 Overcoming Dyslexia 
by Dr. Sally Shaywitz, M.D. Sally Shaywitz runs the Dyslexia Research Center at Yale. This is one of the NIH research sites. Sally and Ben Shaywitz are at the forefront of the brain research and MRI studies on dyslexia.  In this book, Dr. Shaywitz explains the latest brain research in layman's terms. It's a lengthy book, but it is well worth reading.

The Dyslexia Empowerment Plan 
A Blueprint for Renewing Your Child's Confidence and Love of Learning
by Ben Foss

Ben Foss, a successful adult with severe dyslexia, shares facts, advice, and strategies along with stories from his own life – and those of more than 400 other adults with dyslexia he has interviewed in the past few years – to create a blueprint for parents.

His theme is a child with dyslexia is not broken.  Parents must take a very active role in helping their child accept, understand, and embrace their dyslexia – so their child does not end up suffering from severe shame caused by feeling defective.

Then he shows them how to empower their child to dream big, deal with the school system, balance tutoring with accommodations and technology tools, become part of the dyslexia community – and so much more.

This ground-breaking book is available in print, as a Kindle ebook, and on audio.
