About Dyslexia Unlearned
Dyslexia Unlearned was founded in 1998 by Marlene Easley, on the premise that dyslexia is a learned response, that can therefore be unlearned. As a certified public school teacher in Washington State, she's taught children and adults for over 30 years in public and private schools, specialized learning centers and daycare.
As
a child, Marlene experienced the education system as a dyslexic. As an
adult she went on to choose teaching as her profession and a way to
open the doors to learning and make a visible difference in the lives
of others. Marlene has unique insight into both assessing and meeting
the needs of visual-spatial learners. She has provided hundreds of
programs to individuals and taught dozens of teachers to integrate many
of the same techniques with their current curriculum.
Marlene is well known for her innate ability to connect with people, to discern weak areas in learning and to provide sustainable methods to overcome learning difficulties. Her compassion and genuineness are palpable and contribute greatly to the openness of those who work with her.
Marlene began her work with dyslexia by achieving all then currently available certifications through Davis Dyslexia Association International® as a dyslexia program facilitator, teacher trainer and school mentor. She parted paths with DDAI in 2004 to enable her to include her own program techniques as well as those of other widely recognized educational professionals.
It is Marlene’s desire for all children to be equipped with the tools best suited to their method of learning and she believes this can only be accomplished by wide spread understanding and acceptance in the public education system.
