In 1994, the nation’s first program to help children afflicted with dyslexia was launched by the Scottish Rite of the Northern Jurisdiction and Massachusetts General Hospital’s Language Disorders Unit.
We know that when parents understand dyslexia and feel supported, children flourish. Our goal is to make the learning journey a partnership built on trust, compassion, and shared progress.
Since 2004, The Boston North Children’s Dyslexia Center has provided on-site tutoring to hundreds of children with dyslexia in grades 1-12 at no cost to families. We are a non-profit organization supported by community donations, local fund-raising initiatives & grants and are part of a network of 47 learning centers nationally. The Boston North Center offers certification courses to educators who desire to become experts in the delivery of literacy instruction rooted in the science of reading.
Driving Directions Dyslexia is a specific language-based learning difference. Dyslexia makes it difficult for children to read words accurately and quickly. Dyslexia varies in severity and can persist even after classroom instruction. Dyslexia can lead to difficulty with written expression, reading comprehension, and academic achievement.
Dyslexia results from genetic, biological, and environmental factors that interact throughout a child’s life.
Without proper intervention, Dyslexia can lead to lifelong challenges without effective intervention.
That’s where the Children’s Dyslexia Centers can help.
The Children’s Dyslexia Centers equip children with the skills, strategies, and confidence they need to become successful learners. Our progress data show that most children make significant gains in literacy skills.

Today, she reads with confidence because the right support changed everything.
