Approach / Philosophy
I am committed to educating and empowering students with learning difficulties. I help students find comfort and reassurance in knowing that they are seen, their challenges acknowledged, and that I will work with them and their families to support their unique needs. Successful interventions come from a coordinated and consistent approach. Therefore, in addition to working individually with students, part of my work is to establish and sustain a system of communication with the family and develop learning supports between home and school.
