Lokahi Connect bridges science and language to support students with dyslexia, ADHD, and learning differences.

Empowering Every Learner Through Literacy

We believe that every learner has the right to understand the structure and meaning of the words they read, write, and speak.

One in five children struggles with language-based learning differences, but most don’t receive the support they need.

Lokahi Connect empowers schools and families with tools grounded in cognitive science and the Structured Word Inquiry (SWI) approach.

We believe all children deserve to read, write, and thrive, without shame, isolation, or confusion.

Structured Inquiry. Empowered Literacy. Lifelong Impact.

At Lokahi Connect, we believe that every child deserves the chance to read with confidence and joy, regardless of their learning style. We work with families, educators, and specialists to unlock literacy for children with dyslexia, ADHD, and other language-based learning differences.

Why We’re Different:

  • Science-Backed Approach: We use Structured Word Inquiry and evidence-based reading strategies proven to work.

  • Family-Centered Support: We guide parents so they can help their children thrive at home and in school.

  • Equity in Action: We reach children who are often left behind by traditional systems.

“For the first time, my child feels seen, smart, and supported. Lokahi Connect didn’t just help him read, they helped him believe in himself.”
