    We are all about giving people like our founder, Brent Sopel, an equal chance in their environment.

    Join the Sopel Foundation for Dyslexia, a 501(c)(3) organization, and contribute to a world where people with dyslexia get the support they deserve!

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.

This is our mission.

We believe that by addressing the needs of 1 in 5 children in the USA, 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.

Available training

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.
