Dyslexia, a language-based learning difference, is neurologically based and presents challenges in reading, writing, and spelling. The hallmark of dyslexia is weak phonological processing. Decades of research have provided evidence-based methods for identifying and instructing individuals with dyslexia and other reading or writing challenges.
Language-based disabilities are thought to affect up to twenty percent of our population. They can be challenging to identify in children and adults. As an educational therapist, I consider individual profiles and connect assessments to effective instruction.

Consultations
An individual education plan (IEP) can be hard to interpret. I can offer consulting appointments to review IEPs and analyze school psychologist reports with your child's best interest in mind. For those seeking a new direction, I can help evaluate the situation, navigate homeschooling, or discuss alternative academic choices.
I offer adults guidance in managing their dyslexia, remediation of skills, and addressing school and work challenges caused by dyslexia. In 2021, I authored a book: The Dyslexia Guide for Adults: Practical Tools to Improve Executive Functioning, Boost Literacy Skills, and Develop Your Unique Strengths. For more information on how I can help you on your journey, please visit my webpage, Adult Consultation and Services, where you can find detailed information about the services I offer.
