Helping underserved, dyslexic kids discover their hidden genius.
The heart of Teleios Approach is to provide no-cost resources and support for dyslexic kids and their families. The current systems make it challenging for parents to afford a dyslexia diagnosis for their child and to access resources and support. Teleios bridges these gaps through our Discover Your Genius 1st-12th grade program.
