How a Dyslexia Advocate can Help You! Ft. Jennifer Bernheim, Founder of Right to Read Advocacy

Did you know that you might be able to get your child's public school district to pay for an independent educational evaluation? We didn't either! Check out this fascinating conversation with Jennifer Bernheim, mother of a dyslexic kid, dyslexia advocate, and founder of Right to Read Advocacy (https://www.righttoreadadvocacy.com/).

As the mom of a dyslexic learner, Jennifer knows how challenging it can be to navigate the special education process in a public school district, which is why she founded Right to Read Advocacy. Jennifer helps parents demystify this overwhelming process and empowers parents to support their child's unique needs.

Jennifer has completed the esteemed Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates’ (COPAA) Special Education and Advocacy Training courses, known as SEAT 1.0 and SEAT 2.0. She adheres to COPAA’s Advocate Voluntary Code of Ethics. Additional advocacy education includes the Orton-Gillingham Academy Subscriber Course and WrightsLaw Special Ed Law & Advocacy Training.

Prior to founding Right to Read Advocacy, Jennifer spent 20 years as a public relations practitioner, providing strategic communications support for purpose-driven companies. She has a master’s degree in communication studies from the University of Rhode Island. Jennifer lives in Weston, CT with her husband, their three children, and Australian labradoodle.

Jennifer is a non-attorney, educational advocate. She does not provide legal advice.
