Areas of Specialty:
Dyslexia: Reading & Language Skills and Executive Function Skills/ADHD

Type of Therapies/Services Offered:
As a Reading Therapist, I offer reading sessions to children who are struggling with reading. I use The Structured Literacy Method which is based on the Science of Reading. It is diagnostic and prescriptive. During the sessions, the child’s instructional needs and progress are continually measured and responded to. As an Educational Therapist, I support kids and their families when the student is underachieving at school. After assessing of the learner’s Executive Function Skills and academic/language skills, we work together to build academic confidence by learning about the brain, tools and strategies to get things done in school and life. Frequently, I meet with the parent to discuss the learner’s need and how to best support them.
