Dyslexia Gold
Does Your Child Find Reading Difficult? 

Dyslexia Gold Improves Reading and Spelling 

Dyslexia Gold is an online program that helps children to read and spell confidently and fluently. It is suitable for both early readers and older readers who find reading difficult. 

Why We Are Different 

Phonics works best when combined with auditory games, so children can hear sounds in words, and vision training, so their eyes track smoothly across the page. 

Dyslexia Gold is the only program that focuses on all the skills needed for reading. 

Multi-Sensory Approach 

Dyslexia Gold uses speaking, hearing, reading & writing to fully engage your child. 

It works at your child's pace, progressing at the right speed for them.  

Perfect for Home Schooling 

The no-prep lessons teach your child to read confidently, fluently, and easily. Children work independently, requiring minimal supervision. The programs are online and easy to use. 

Fun, Effective & Unique 

Children love playing Dyslexia Gold - and you'll both love how much their reading improves. It’s suitable for children aged 6-15.

RJ Cooper & Associates
Hi from SPED technologist, RJ Cooper!

I've been creating and adapting technology for special needs since 1983! No one has been doing it longer. Whatever your situation, there is a good chance I can make something for you!

From cause/effect devices and software/apps, to spelling programs/apps, adapted music players, accessible TV controllers, Xbox/PS4 controllers, sensory feedback devices, wheelchair mounts, and protective/transportable iPad cases, I offer something for everyone :-) I've even resurrected my popular young childrens' vehicle, the CooperCar 2.

And I specialize in custom-making/adapting just for your unique need. I love a good brainstorming session.

I hope to hear from you!

Branson Academy
Carter (name changed) is non-verbal and diagnosed with ASD. After four years in the public school system, his mom was looking for better options for her son’s growth.

Carter’s mom chose our California private school satellite program (PSP) as an umbrella for her homeschool needs. It was a privilege to support her vision for her son. After purchasing an Augmentative Alternative Communication device and providing specialized one-on-one instruction the changes were dramatic and culminated a decade later in Carter graduating high school with a 4.0 GPA and admission to the university of his choice. Carter's goal is to advocate for and mentor other students with special needs, especially those on the autism spectrum.

What an incredible journey! This is why we support ALL learners!

How did we help?

We managed the student transfer and records from Carter’s prior school. We made it easy for Carter’s mom to use a flexible study plan and online reports. Personalized parent updates and quarterly feedback encouraged her in the journey.

A standardized high school transcript accurately reflected Carter’s accomplishments with courses, credits, GPA and achievements. Plus, he received a beautiful high school diploma!

Carter’s mom expressed her appreciation. “Thank you for the many, many kind words. Your support has been very helpful to us on our homeschooling journey. Thanks for everything!”

Other parents of learners with special needs feel the same!
Enjoy freedom and flexibility for your child with our California PSP. Enroll now for 2021-22.
