Join Empower Dyslexia as we speak with Amber Carter Jones about her journey in parent advocacy.

Amber's real job is as an historic preservation consultant working throughout the state of Arkansas. She is a specialist in Federal and State Historic Tax Credits and listing properties to the National Register. Amber's three daughters are all affected by dyslexia, however, it was her youngest child, Rory, age 16 now, who struggled the most and could not figure out reading or spelling at all, the way her school was teaching it. The typical struggles with getting this child the appropriate educational services led Amber to become a passionate dyslexia advocate for other students and families affected by dyslexia. She is a founding member of the Arkansas Dyslexia Support Group which provides free advocacy services to parents of students with Dyslexia. The group has been effective at the state legislature with the passage of two dyslexia laws and four literacy laws passed concerning the Science of Reading for all K-12 students
