I was the confused parent...Then I studied to find true answers...Now I offer real help that works!
For years, I independently studied learning disabilities and teaching methods at a graduate level, but I never ran across information on dyslexia. Finally, when my son was in high school I discovered that dyslexia was the cause for his long struggle with reading, spelling, writing.​
Realizing his difficulties could have been prevented, I determined to help others. I began with certification in dyslexia testing and continued from there:
​
LiPS training and Visualizing & Verbalizing from Lindamood Bell, the 9-Lines Method from Making Math Real, Teaching Mathematics at Landmark School for dyslexia in MA, Wrightslaw Advocacy seminar, and more.

I never stop studying and training. I continue to take webinars on subjects from math to the effects of anxiety on learning to executive functioning, and more.  I even have a little autism experience through substitute teaching in specialized autism classrooms.

I chose evidence-based and research-based approaches that I now love to use day after day because they work so well for my students:
​
​​I am a MASTER certified tutor in the Barton Reading & Spelling system, an Orton-Gillingham based system.

I have Associate Level Training from the AOGPE.​​

​And I have earned Professional Certification as an NILD Educational Therapist.

and build their brain pathways, intellect, and reading skill.
