History

Established in 1993.

Since 1993, DLS has helped thousands of children and adults, providing individual educational therapy services, tutoring, adapted technology training and comprehensive learning and psychoeducational assessments. We also offer school placements, instructional design services, specially trained aides, directed studies for credit recovery, study hall and life skills coaching.

John R. Fleming, Director of DLS, founded DLS after extensive work with students and adults with learning differences. Mr. Fleming’s own personal experiences with dyslexia helped lead him to advanced study and degrees in the process of learning. He is a Board Certified Educational Therapist (BCET) with a Masters degree in Special Education, with concentrations in Learning Disabilities and in Emotional Disturbances that affect learning.
