Dr. Valdine Björnson - Founder

I have completed a Doctor of Education focusing on adults with Dyslexia in Manitoba. I have founded the Reading and Learning Clinic Canada in order to provide Canadian educators evidence-based professional development as well as advocacy and intervention to students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.

I am accredited with the International Dyslexia Association (Structured Literacy/Dyslexia Specialist), listed with the Ontario Branch of the International Dyslexia Association as well as accredited with the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators (FIT/AOGPE). I am a permanently certified Reading Clinician through Manitoba Professional Certification with Manitoba Education and Training. 

Currently I serve as a Reading Strategist with the University of Manitoba at the Indigenous Student Centre. I also work as a Literacy Specialist in a public K-8 school in Winnipeg. I also consult with Strong Nations Publishing for their decodable text series,
