Services
I offer individualized structured literacy instruction to learners ages 8-14. I teach students who are struggling with reading, spelling, comprehension and writing. Many of my students have Dyslexia, ADHD, Specific Learning Disabilities in Reading and Writing, Autism, or Intellectual Disabilities; others have no specific learning related diagnosis, but need extra support in literacy. I work primarily with students in Richmond, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Caroline and Quantico, Virginia.
Training
I am a member of Orton Gillingham Academy (OGA) at the Associate Level and qualified through OGA to work with learners with Dyslexia with the support of a Fellow of the Academy. I am trained in Structured Word Inquiry. Additionally, I have training from Lindamood Bell in the following programs: Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing (LiPS), Seeing Stars, and Visualizing and Verbalizing. I have a BS in education from Minnesota State University Moorhead and have completed a program on supporting the practice of reading and writing theory in the classroom from George Mason University.
