Gretchen and Jeanine, the Founders of Fundamental Learning Center, had no other choice but to do the work themselves. Their kiddos were struggling and nobody could help them.
There were anxiety attacks, tummy-ache calls from the nurse, and a lot of frustration and saddess.
After years of back-and-forth, it was clear was the only option was to do it themselves. Jeanine spent six years spending three weeks in Dallas, three weeks in Wichita so she could get the best possible training for her son, Cooper.
She didn't want any other parent to feel the way she did for so long - all kids deserve to get the help they need. So, in 2000 Fundamental Learning Center was created and the impact began.

Here is where you turn
for reading help.
Having your child screened can make all the difference.
What to expect when you come in for a dyslexia assessment
When a child struggles to read, many parents do not know where to look for assistance. As a first step, PFLC offers dyslexia assessments for children ages 5-18 who might have reading difficulties.
If you have a child who is struggling to learn to read, write or spell, schedule an assessment appointment with our experienced assessment team. An assessment can take place at our center or, by digital appointment to save gas and travel time. Our assessors are Zoom* savvy and will be happy to work with you online.
The assessment includes an hour meeting with your child exploring their phonemic, reading, writing and spelling skills.
Immediately after meeting with your child, you will sit down with the assessor and together, you will begin to unravel the mystery of the unexpected reading, writing and spelling struggles your child is dealing with.
After the assessment, you will receive a written report and recommendations for next steps. With our help, your child will soon be on their way to easier learning experiences.
If you are concerned about your child's reading skills and would like to schedule an assessment appointment, please call Phillips Fundamental Learning Center at 316-684-7323. We are here to help!

"The processing weaknesses interfere with reading and writing but give strengths in high-level thinking — the student can think in ways others cannot, at the expense of automatically processing text."
Connie Thompson, director of dyslexia screening, helps parents determine what help is available for children who struggle with reading.
