Outreach Into the Community at Kids In The Kitchen!

Our interns and volunteers came out this Saturday to do some outreach in the Long Beach community.  Jessica Torres and Izzy Dier helped get the word out to parents, so that families could find out more about what DFYL and our Reading & Rhythm program has to offer emergent readers! 

Drum Journey's with Television Hit Show Transparent

Steven has led three drum journeys with the Emmy award winning television show Transparent over the past two years. Two were with the crew and one was with a group that included, one of the stars (Jay Duplass), the writer, director and cinematographer of episode 7, season two. The New York Times wrote:  “The scene between Raquel and Josh (Jay) inside the temple is one of the strongest of the season so far; both Kathryn Hahn and Jay Duplass infuse their final conversation with so much subtext and unutterable hurt.”

Reading & Rhythm is Expanding to Charter Schools!

DFYL has expanded to work with Public Charter Schools.  We are now vendors for Excel Academy of Arts and Sciences, Sky Mountain, Epic, Inspire, CCCP, California Pacific Charter Schools, Gorman, Sage Oak, Pathways and continue to work with SEA.  We are very excited about the potential of reaching hundreds of more students through our partnership with these Charters.     

Special Needs Resource Fair at Skirball Cultural Center

Steven and Nez were at this year’s Special Needs Resource Fair at the Skirball Culural Center, on December 11th, hosted by L.A. Parent.  More than 200 families came out to get more information on resources and services available to help serve their special needs children.  There were performances on the main stage and families learned more about how the DFYL Reading & Rhythm program can help kids with Dyslexia, High Functioning Autism and ADHD improve their reading.

One On One Reading & Rhythm Sessions!

DFYL is now offering the Reading & Rhythm program one-on-one!  Individual sessions are available either in the office or via Skype (after initial consultation).  Facilitators will also be available to go out to homes for an even more personalized Reading & Rhythm experience.
