Springtides is a local (Eastern Iowa) nonprofit that works to meet the needs of those who live and work with youth with developmental and behavioral challenges. Our mascot is Poncho, the therapy cat. We have a bookstore with over 200 titles covering topics such as ADD/ADHD, Autism, Asperger's, dyslexia, social skills, etc. Our mission is to promote an excellent quality of life for youth. Our mission is based on our core beliefs of 1. All youth deserve to be treated with love, acceptance, and respect. 2. Adults must be provided with the education necessary to provide that love, acceptance, and respect. Springtides, Inc. is available for consulting contracts, workshops, and linking schools to trainers in the MSL reading approaches. We adapt materials and methods from Slingerland, Orton-Gillingham, and Lindamood-Bell in our MSL reading training courses. Springtides is always interested in collaboration with other organizations working with children (and their families) with developmental and behavioral challenges. It currently has collaborations with The Iowa Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health, the Iowa Branch of the International Dyslexia Association, and the Scottish Rite Temple of Cedar Rapids.

This is the best place i have ever been to. They have great personalized service, employees who know what they are talking about, and the prices are awsome. I was able to find everything I needed and I got a few of the used books for me and my daughter and managed to still go home with cash in my pocket. They offer tutoring and programs for parents to learn a little more about their kids. If you have ever wondered why kids don't come with a manual, or have a specific behavioral problem this is the number one place to go. If you like to buy used books at a really great price please do shop here, most of the used books are less than 5 dollars.

I love taking my daughter in to pick out her own books from the used selection and finding books for me too, even on a very limited budget. I love the helpful, friendly staff that has actual answers.

It is so nice to be able to see books on special needs titles that I could only look at online before, not knowing if it was really what I wanted. They also have a wider selection of special needs titles than other places in the area that I have checked. Their workshops have also been very informative and helpful.

They have great books and information on behavioral problems in children as well as educational resources. They also sell used books and can provide low cost tutoring. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and this is a non-profit organization as well as a family run business.
