1 in 5 children have dyslexia. Only 5% of them are actually diagnosed. We’re on a mission to change that.
Thank you, Gar Wood Securities, for your support of the Sopel Foundation! We look forward to doing incredible things with your partnership.
You are not alone.
Dyslexia affects as many as 1 in 5 people. More than 40 million Americans are dyslexic.
Only 2 million of those have been diagnosed.
Let’s change that!
Our mission is to provide financial and educational support, as well as early detection and intervention, that people with dyslexia deserve.
WHILE 1 IN 5
people are thought to be affected by dyslexia.
ONLY 1 IN 20
people with dyslexia are identified.
A lack of diagnosis means many people who have dyslexia needlessly struggle in school, with friends, with confidence. Sometimes for their entire lives.
This is our mission.
We believe that by addressing the needs of 1 in 5 children that have dyslexia, particularly through initiatives like early detection and intervention for dyslexia, we can significantly improve their lives and unleash their full potential.
Our commitment to this cause is driven by the profound impact it can have on individuals, families, and society as a whole. Together, we strive to create a brighter future where every person has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
With your help, we can help more young people overcome dyslexia and empower them to be confident in and out of the classroom.
Available training
Provide grants and scholarships to K-12 educators to pursue training to support children with reading disorders

Together, we can make it happen.
The solutions exist, but we require financial support to make them a reality - and bring change to the world!
Together we can bring the right tools and assets to better identify, help and create equal chances for the successful dyslexic adults of tomorrow!
Your financial support is crucial for the Sopel Foundation for Dyslexia to continue making a positive impact on the dyslexic community.
Brent has been a mentor to me as a mom with a child with dyslexia and a huge help to her with suggesting of accomodations to help her at school. After implementing Brent's suggestions in my daughter's classes, her educational experience was much better.
She felt she was actually learning and understanding things better.
