Springer is a non-profit organization located in Cincinnati, Ohio that has been transforming lives for over 50 years through education. Our mission is to empower students with learning disabilities to lead successful lives. We are the leading resource on learning disabilities in the Southwest Ohio, Eastern Indiana, and Northern Kentucky communities. We believe that all students with learning disabilities have the

ability to succeed educationally, socially, and personally, and to ultimately become
