Russell Van Brocklen, the visionary behind Dyslexia Classes, embarked on his pioneering research journey with the backing of the New York State Senate. Initiated in 2001, this groundbreaking project was conceived following in-depth deliberations with both the New York State Education Department and The Research Foundation of The State University of New York. The study culminated in a distinguished presentation at the International Dyslexia Association's New York City Branch in 2006.

Through Van Brocklen's innovative techniques, the project achieved a significant milestone: it substantially elevated the writing aptitude of ambitious and intellectually gifted dyslexic high school students. Their skills, previously at a middle school level, soared to match the writing prowess of an average graduate student, as validated by the Graduate Record Exam’s Analytical Writing Assessment. Testament to the program's success, its graduates smoothly transitioned to college and achieved their degrees without the need for any special accommodations.

Van Brocklen consistently shared his insights at the "Everyone Reading Conference", presenting annually from 2014 to 2023. Additionally, he has been a prominent speaker at events hosted by the LDA of New Jersey, with five appearances to his credit. Between 2020 and 2022, he undertook the significant role of a reading program reviewer at the International Dyslexia Association Annual Conference.

Further solidifying his reputation as an industry leader, Van Brocklen trained over 80 educational diagnosticians at The New Jersey Association of Learning Consultants Fall Symposium 2022, addressing the theme, "Reading and Writing: The Casualties of the Pandemic".
