Reading and learning help from people who understand your child.
Arcadia is a small, highly trained team of reading and executive function instructors in Phoenix and Gilbert. We specialize in dyslexia, ADHD, and kids who have already tried other programs without much luck.

Four programs, one plan built around your child
Every student starts with an assessment or a review of what you already have. Then we recommend a program, a schedule, and a real estimate of the time it will take.

Experts your child will look forward to seeing
Every instructor comes to us with strong credentials. What sets ours apart is how they connect with children and how well they understand the way learning actually works. Then we train them extensively, so they can adjust a session in real time instead of following a script.
- A carefully selected, highly trained instructional team
- A dedicated program coordinator watching your child's progress
- A plan built from assessment and the data you already have
- A small team of instructors per child, not one tutor alone
- Formal reports, meetings, and reassessment at the end
- Parents in the know the whole way through
The right fit, before anything starts
Before recommending a program, we take time to understand your child, review existing testing, gather anything else we need, and sit down with you to explain what we found.
See the whole processA conversation
You tell us what's going on. We decide together whether to review existing data or start with an assessment.
A written recommendation
Detailed and knowledgeable, but written so it's easy to understand.
A meeting to go over it
We walk you through the recommendation, the alternatives, and the expected cost before you commit.
The program begins
Your child works 1:1 with a small team of instructors who adjust as they go.
Updates and reassessment
You hear from us throughout, and we reassess at the end to measure growth.
The right team makes all the difference
