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.

Phillips Fundamental Learning Center offers helpful lectures for parents after a child has been to a dyslexia screening. These presentations are designed to give parents all of the information they need to support and advocate for a child with dyslexia.
1. Dyslexia: Let's Talk About It (Click Here)
According to research, one out of every five students have dyslexia. Unfortunately, very few individuals have accurate information about what dyslexia is. Instead, many “dyslexia myths” continue to be prevalent in our Kansas communities. Phillips Fundamental Learning Center hopes to remedy that by offering parents and teachers this lecture video designed to share current, research-based information and facts about dyslexia. Acquiring knowledge and understanding of all these areas is vital for anyone playing a role in the life of a dyslexic child.
​
Register to join the lecture in person or virtually every third Thursday of the month by emailing: tdugger@funlearn.org
​
Or call 316-684-7323 and ask for Terri.

2. Barb Orsi: Know Your Rights (Click Here)
Is your child receiving the education he or she deserves? Prepare to request necessary 504 accommodations or an IEP for your child with dyslexia. Be ready to talk your child’s school about accommodations or IEPs. Most parents tell us they feel intimidated and lack confidence to have this conversation with their child’s school administrators and staff. Fundamental Learning Center understands and is here to help.
