Special Needs, Dyslexia, Reading, LindamoodBell, OG Specialist

Laila M.

I offer one-on-one tutoring in reading and comprehension. Using a variety of methods such as Orton-Gillingham, Seeing Stars, and Visualizing & Verbalizing, I am able to provide a safe and effective way for your student to accelerate their learning. I have a comprehensive background in Montessori Education and am well versed in all areas of the Lindamood-Bell programs. I'm also trained in the Dibles program, directed to improve reading fluency which has a direct consequence on comprehension.

My experience as Consultant at Lindamood Bell puts me in a unique position to help students with learning deficiencies, such as ADHD, Dyslexia and those on the Autism Spectrum. If the student has difficulties in;

Reading / Listening Comprehension
Critical thinking and Problem Solving
Following Directions
Memory
Oral / Written Language Expression
Weak word attack / word recognition skills
Difficulty reading fluently in context
Difficulty monitoring and self correcting reading & spelling errors
May be labeled dyslexic

I can provide an evaluation to determine areas of strengths and weakness to develop an individualized learning plan for your student. I also provide on going progress updates and a re-evaluation to measure the progress made.

I love working with students and nothing makes me happier than celebrating small milestones and the little successes. I feel this genuine enthusiasm rubs off on the children and they grow in their skills and confidence. Being a mother myself, I appreciate the challenges families face and am here to support in a holistic way.
