Meet the Houstonian who started a dyslexia school in her garage
Tammy Spencer, founder of Dyslexia School of Houston, poses for a portrait Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2022, at the school in West University Place.Madison Peddle had trouble reading in early childhood, and by the time she reached fourth grade, it was causing even bigger problems.
"It was not even a week, and she just bloomed," he said."There's something special about Tammy and what she's doing." As parents and teachers told her about their desperation, the former public school educator had an idea. She wanted to open an in-person school for kids with dyslexia, and she would do it from her own garage.
She had searched hopelessly for resources that would be right for her son, and eventually, saw a post about Spencer's new school on Facebook. " just gave them so much confidence in dyslexia as a superpower and not as a disability," his mother said.Despite federal order, Texas parents struggle to win services for dyslexic students
"I no longer want to be part of a problem. I want to be the solution," she said."This is not brand new, and yet we’re running around acting like it is." "Now, I'm only able to reach the ones that can afford this," she said."What keeps me up at night are the ones that don't make it to me."
