The personal agony and cost to society of not understanding how to serve these children is enormous. Seventy five percent of children in the juvenile justice system have learning disabilities. It costs taxpayers $56,000 a year to incarcerate a youth, not to speak of the wasted life - due simply to a reading problem. You can leave a lasting legacy by helping children like Alex whose life has suddenly taken a different turn because a caring community was there to help.

"I thought I was stupid".
These words are from the mouth of Alex, a child with dyslexia whose intellectual
test results ranked him in the Superior range. Fortunately Alex's notion of
himself as stupid is now something he can talk about in the past tense, having
received evaluations and treatment from the Southern Idaho Learning Center.
