A September 2014 article written about PC READS in the Park Record, featuring the personal stories of co-founders, Elissa Aten and Jackie Blake. Short excerpt below:
“I did this for years on my own to find the resources for my daughter and what she needs,” Blake said. “Wouldn’t it be really nice if we can give other families who are struggling or questioning or not understanding what’s going on with their student as much help and support and resources that we didn’t get?”
Elissa Aten had a similar experience with her child, who also was diagnosed with dyslexia. And like Blake, she had a desire to help others in the same situation. So together, last year they founded Park City Reads, an organization dedicated to providing resources for local parents with children with dyslexia or other reading struggles.
