Summer Seminars

Susan Barton, the founder of Bright Solutions for Dyslexia and one of America's leading experts in Dyslexia and AD/HD, will conduct only one professional development seminar this summer.

She will be working on her book the rest of the summer.

Screening for Dyslexia

Chicago, IL: June 11 to 16, 2012

At this intense graduate-level 6 day seminar, you will learn how to accurately screen children and teenagers for dyslexia.

Every private school should have someone who knows how to do this. Screening would also be extremely valuable for every Reading or Learning Specialist, every Speech-Language Therapist, every School Psychologist, and every Barton tutor.

If you have any questions, call Bright Solutions for Dyslexia at 408-559-3652.

On-Line Seminars

The Nuts & Bolts of Private Practice

Susan Barton recently converted one of her most in-demand all-day workshops, the Nuts & Bolts of Private Practice, into 3 shorter on-line sessions.

Now any Barton tutor, certified or not, can watch these sessions for a small fee, over the internet 24/7.

The three sessions are:

• Setting up a private practice, the nitty gritty—1 hour
• What to charge and how to market effectively—2 hours
• Set parent expectations with a tutoring agreement and a road map—2 hours

Speaker's Bureau

Susan Barton, the founder of Bright Solutions for Dyslexia, gives presentations on dyslexia all across the country. But she cannot keep up with the demand.

So she contacted all of the graduates of her summer seminars. Many, who were already giving presentations at a local or state level, agreed to become part of a Speakers Bureau on dyslexia. Speakers are now available in 37 states and five countries.

If your organization, school, or conference would like a speaker on dyslexia, whether it is for a short presentation at a service club meeting or a parent support group, a three-hour in-depth workshop, or an all-day inservice training, click here and fill out the form.

Susan Barton will match your request with the most appropriate speaker in your area.
