About
Strategic Partnerships
UCSF Dyslexia Center
In 2010, Steve Carnevale, then President of the Armstrong Board of Trustees, began conversations with Dr. Robert Hendren about dyslexia and how it impacts the lives of children. Out of those conversations the UCSF Dyslexia Center was born.
The mission of the UCSF Dyslexia Center is to eliminate the debilitating effects of developmental dyslexia while preserving and even enhancing the relative strengths of each individual.
In 2013, Armstrong entered into a strategic partnership with the UCSF Dyslexia Center to jointly advance the understanding of the science and best educational methods for teaching students with dyslexia.
Today, Armstrong is the Dyslexia Center’s premier partner and over 135 Armstrong students have been enrolled in the study. There are currently substantial cohorts of Armstrong students who have completed the testing at every grade level and in every classroom.
Sarah Fox, Director of Research and Curriculum, is leading Armstrong’s translation of this ground-breaking research into teaching practices.
