Welcome to DIA; We are so happy that you have found DIA and are taking some of your valuable time to explore our services. We are so passionate about helping individuals left behind because they struggle with learning difficulties (primarily Dyslexia and ADD/ADHD), that we left our successful careers and invested our future in our clients' futures. Where does our passion come from? Well, since we believe strongly that individuals with Dyslexia and/or ADD are incredibly intelligent, creative and have the potential to achieve success all things (including literacy skills!), we are not shy to let the world know that we struggled in our early lives the way our clients struggle before they come to us: Susan has Dyslexia and Les has ADD. Very importantly, especially to our clients, DIA is NOT a franchise and we pride ourselves on finding or creating the best interventions to help our clients succeed in all areas of literacy and foundational mathematics. To do this enormously important task we started in 2004 by licensing a highly successful, clinical program for Dyslexia from Dyslexia Institutes of America via. Dr. Elaine Jett. Through her training and expertise we ourselves began our educational journal, and today are well established as experts in Connecticut regarding literacy difficulties. Our exciting journey to where we are today would not have been possible without the incredibly talented professionals that we have hired to help us work with our clients (check our their profiles!) Our literacy specialists are "long-timers" and have come to DIA to help clients in a way that just isn't possible in the public school sector because of the lack of resources and methods. Now in your seventh year, we are so pleased to be growing and expanding, thus allowing us to help more people with our unsurpassed testing and intervention services. We hope that you find our site informative and decide to trust DIA with your most valuable possession - your child, spouse, relative or yourself. Best Wishes, Les and Susan Fredette
