The North County Literacy Foundation held its inaugural fundraising event Sept. 26 at a private residence in Rancho Pacifica. The event was held to raise funds to support therapies in hidden underlying learning skills faced by local students. The neurosciences have proven that ADHD, Auditory Processing Disorder, Dyslexia and other learning challenges can be significantly corrected, making school easier, and open doors of possibilities for college and beyond, according to the North County Literacy Foundation.

The North County Literacy Foundation has been established to fix those hidden challenges that many local students face.
