Established in 2007, the Beijing LangLang Learning Potential Development Center (“LangLang”) is currently the largest professional training and support center focused on dyslexia in the Beijing metropolitan area. Drawing from its collaboration with the Chinese Society of Education and practical hands-on experience in Hong Kong, LangLang developed a new education methodology for the treatment of dyslexia, Drug-Free Multi-sensory Mental gymnastics (otherwise known as DFMM).
The LangLang curriculum, employing the DFMM corrective system, offers programs such as capacity-building classes, brain potential tests, summer and winter camps, social communication classes, parent training courses and community lectures. After six to twelve months of professional DFMM treatment, dyslexic students significantly overcome reading and writing challenges and increase their self-confidence. DFMM’s effectiveness is not only recognized by their intellectual property rights over the method, but also by its impact: over a hundred variations of students’ dyslexia have been improved by DFMM, with twenty thousand families and school teachers taking professional DFMM training courses and countless communities hosting dyslexia awareness and training lectures. Through its workshops and training programs, LangLang has helped to increase parents and teachers’ recognition of dyslexia and to eliminate community misunderstanding of the learning disability.
Given their success, LangLang is seeking investment to expand its business and its scope. In addition to its overall objective of establishing more training school centers, its five year strategic development plan include specific goals such as establishing LangLang headquarters and ten dyslexia service stations in Beijing, setting up satellite centers in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Chengdu, and maintaining and increasing the enrolment ratio in existing LangLang dyslexia training schools. Ultimately, their aim is that of national coverage.
