About

If you believe things aren't right for your child, do not apply the wait-and-see approach. The truth is that time matters and the earlier the correct intervention and specialized instruction arrive the better the result for your child. My background is in special education; however, reading and writing instruction is my passion and focus. Students require structured literacy instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Specialized instruction doesn't stop at phonemic awareness or phonics. 

I advocate for your child by evaluating their academic testing, school records, IEP, and provide direction within special education laws & regulations to secure your child's academic success. Available to assist in the special education process; guidance in identifying and advocating for evaluations in suspected disabilities areas, eligibility, placement, related services, modified instruction, classroom accommodations, compensatory services, ESY, writing goals/objectives, email review, goal writing, progress monitoring, etc. 

Your child's needs and educational needs are unique; therefore, services are customized depending on your situation.
