Our primary mission is to teach people to read, write, and spell through patient, structured, and individualized instruction.

Our therapists are trained in structured literacy methods, completing more than 800 supervised clinical hours in practicum experience. Instruction is individualized and grounded in the science of reading, drawing from Orton-Gillingham–based programs including Neuhaus Education, Wilson Reading, Alphabetic Phonics, and Kendore Learning. Each lesson is thoughtfully planned to meet the learner’s unique needs within the structured scope and sequence recommended by the International Dyslexia Association.
In addition to dyslexia therapy, we offer high-quality academic tutoring in reading, language, math, and subject-area skills to help learners build confidence and success across the curriculum.

Our effective literacy intervention includes three essential components:
- A highly trained therapist with the knowledge and expertise to guide learning
- A research-based curriculum that supports the development of foundational and advanced literacy skills
- Consistent, focused practice to build accuracy, fluency, and automaticity
Our structured approach blends direct instruction with purposeful practice to help skills become strong and automatic. Most learners begin with 3–5 lessons per week, and we recommend a commitment of approximately 50 lessons per semester to support meaningful progress and lasting results.
Steady work, skilled teaching, and encouragement — that’s how reading confidence grows.
A Community Built on Care and Expertise
At Illuminations, we believe every learner — child or adult — deserves patient, skilled support and a path to confident reading. Since 2013, our nonprofit has served families locally and across the country through compassionate, evidence-based dyslexia therapy and academic tutoring.
Struggling with reading, spelling, word retrieval, or fluency can feel overwhelming, but dyslexia does not limit intelligence or potential. With knowledgeable guidance and structured, individualized instruction, readers can thrive — and we walk alongside families every step of the way.
Illuminations began in a church classroom in Meridian, Mississippi, and has grown to support learners in more than 18 states and 4 countries. We are proud members of the East Mississippi Business Development Corporation and are committed to strengthening literacy in our community and beyond.
You’re not alone — and your reader’s future is bright.
