Meet Danielle
In 2020, I sat across from my son's kindergarten teacher and was told that his reading difficulties were “normal”- that forgetting sight words and struggling to blend sounds were things he would likely outgrow.
I wasn't convinced.
As a speech-language pathologist with a background in linguistics and language disorders, I understood enough about language and literacy to know that we needed to look more closely.
I eventually pulled my son from public school, sought out Wilson reading instruction, and pursued my own training in structured literacy and multisensory reading instruction.
It helped him.
Later, I found myself sitting on the other side of an IEP table- this time as a parent- listening to the same types of recommendations I had spent years helping other families navigate as a school-based SLP.
I understood both sides in a way I hadn't before, and I cried the whole way home.
Today, I bring 15+ years of school-based speech-language experience, specialized training in language and literacy, and firsthand experience navigating reading difficulties as a parent to my work with children and families.
I know what it feels like to wonder:
“Is this something my child will outgrow- or do we need to do something now?”
And I know how important it is to have someone who can help you understand the difference.
Diagnostic rigor, not generic academic tutoring.
We look at the language skills underneath reading, comprehension, vocabulary, and academic performance.
