If your child is smart but struggling to read, I can tell you exactly why — and exactly what to do about it. I have spent over 19 years working with students who have been told they are not trying hard enough, when the truth is that their brain simply processes language differently. My students include children with dyslexia, ADHD, ASD, auditory processing disorders, and twice-exceptional profiles, as well as students with no formal diagnosis who are falling behind and losing confidence....
If your child is smart but struggling to read, I can tell you exactly why — and exactly what to do about it. I have spent over 19 years working with students who have been told they are not trying hard enough, when the truth is that their brain simply processes language differently. My students include children with dyslexia, ADHD, ASD, auditory processing disorders, and twice-exceptional profiles, as well as students with no formal diagnosis who are falling behind and losing confidence. Every single one of them is capable. They just need the right approach.
I started my career as a reading interventionist in Mobile, Alabama, and spent 11 years with Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes, rising to Regional Director of Centers and working with over 500 students across multiple centers in Alabama and South Florida. I have also trained educators internationally and consulted for schools in Honduras, where structured literacy programs doubled standard reading benchmarks for students. I use evidence-based, science-of-reading methods tailored to how each individual student's brain actually processes language — not a generic curriculum.
I work one-on-one with students from early elementary through high school. I also coach parents directly and collaborate with schools to make sure your child gets the accommodations and support they need inside the classroom. If you have been searching for answers, you have found the right person.
