Dyslexia Reading Connection, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization devoted to supporting the dyslexic community. The mission of Dyslexia Reading Connection (DRC) is “to provide tutoring and related services in reading, spelling, and math to students and adults with dyslexia.” The vision of DRC is “inspiring a world of learning and literacy for the dyslexic community of northeast Wisconsin.” DRC has grown to be one of the largest organizations specializing in dyslexia, helping hundreds of students over the years.
