As a Certified Wilson Reading Educator, I specialize in teaching reading and spelling to children in Kindergarten through High School who are not making adequate progress in traditional settings.

ADD/ADHD
I specialize in tutoring children with ADD/ADHD who are medicated as well as those whose parents have chosen not to medicate. I utilize a reward system tailored to each individual child.

I have worked with children with ADD/ADHD in Resource Rooms, Inclusion Classrooms, and tutored them for over 25 years.
Aspergers
Children with Aspergers can overcome their reading difficulties with the proper instruction. I use a systematic, multisensory approach paired with a positive reward system tailored to motivate each individual child. I have worked with children with Aspergers in Resource Rooms and Inclusion Classrooms, but have had the best results working 1:1 in order to tailor the program to their individual needs.
autism
I have successfully used the multisensory, systematic Wilson Program to teach many children diagnosed with autism to read and spell. Working 1:1 allows me to design instruction and reward programs tailored to individual learning and behavioral needs. I have worked with autistic children in group settings, including summer camps and schools, but see the most gains when they are able to work in a quiet, structured, environment using a personalized approach geared to their unique needs.
