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.

Service Description
5:30 p.m. – FREE – CALL JAMI or TERRI at 316-684-7323 to register for either in-person or virtual options. If registered virtually, a link will be emailed to you the day of the lecture. It’s not just another lecture about dyslexia. Join us at Phillips Fundamental Learning Center in Wichita and listen as parents and professionals ask questions, share their experiences with dyslexia and hear how they solve the challenges a child with dyslexia faces. Learn from their personal stories and see first hand as we all learn together. Dyslexia is now formally recognized as an issue for struggling readers in accordance with Kansas law. This lecture by Jeanine teaches what the new recommendations for helping children with dyslexia are and shows how we’re working to implement them and teach our children to read. According to research one out of every five students nationally struggles academically because they have dyslexia. That means at least four out of every 20 students in a class is not able to keep up with their peers in learning school subjects. But, few parents or teachers have accurate information for how a child with dyslexia should be taught or accommodated in school. Instead, many myths about dyslexia continue to be prevalent in our Kansas communities blocking the way to helping our children learn effectively. Phillips Fundamental Learning Center hopes to dispel those myths by presenting this lecture Dyslexia: Let's Talk About It, to parents and teachers. The lecture is designed to share current, research-based information and true, basic, facts about dyslexia. Research has shown that children with dyslexia are far more likely to succeed academically when parents are educated about dyslexia and provide a voice for their children. And teachers with reliable resources and up-to-date information can make knowledgeable decisions about a child’s instructional needs. Acquiring knowledge and understanding of all these areas is vital for anyone playing a role in the life of a child with dyslexia.
