The Dyslexia School of Houston has changed addresses, opting for a larger property to serve more students, staff said.
The details
Formerly located at 3642 University Blvd., Ste. 101, Dyslexia School of Houston moved to a property on Bissonnet Street during this summer.
Communications Director Sharon McKeown said the business takes up the upstairs and part of the downstairs area of the space, but aims to grow into the entire property.
The business is currently closed for the summer, but plans to reopen in September once therapy services resume, McKeown said.
