JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NOW! Programs®, founded by Dr. Tim Conway, PhD, CEO, reported nationally recognized student outcomes from 2025 that highlight the role of foundational literacy skills in workforce readiness and academic achievement.

Evidence-Based Student Outcomes in Action: Watch documented literacy outcomes and firsthand student accounts in the Dyslexia Success Stories series on the NOW! Programs® YouTube channel.
2025 National Literacy and Workforce Outcomes
Among the 2025 outcomes, one former NOW! Programs® participant with dyslexia was part of a team that earned silver at the national SkillsUSA Championships in Atlanta—an achievement made possible by the literacy skills gained through NOW! Programs® instruction, without which he would not have been eligible for the college program that allowed him to compete. Also in 2025, another 11 year old Dyslexic participant became a published author - without assistive technology, reflecting stronger literacy impacts in both technical fields and academic pathways.
Former Client Perspective, Dyslexic 19-Year-Old becomes Precision Machinist
"NOW! Programs® improved my reading skills, which now helps me better understand blueprints, read manuals, and follow setup instructions. That makes me a more confident and capable machinist. I wouldn't be a 19-year-old running a machine shop if I wasn't able to read this well."
Expert Perspective on Literacy, Dyslexia, and Workforce Readiness
"Literacy isn't just an academic milestone—it's the gateway to workforce readiness and lifelong opportunity," said Dr. Tim Conway, PhD, CEO of NOW! Programs®. "Strong reading and language skills prepare students for education and employment while expanding employers' access to capable, upwardly mobile employees."
