Learning To Read Can Be Exhausting For Children With Dyslexia

You see their many strengths and know they’re capable of learning, yet they continue to struggle in school. Their reading, writing, spelling, and other language skills are likely holding them back from thriving in an academic environment. If your child isn’t responding to the various interventions and extra help provided by their school, then they are a good candidate for academic language therapy.

I provide individualized, prescriptive instruction to students diagnosed with dyslexia or reading impairment so that they can become independent readers and successful students. It will amaze you to watch as their confidence grows in and out of the classroom.

A Bit About Me

I am a Certified Academic Language Therapist

I teach students with learning differences how to read, write and spell. For the past 14 years, I have worked with students diagnosed with a variety of conditions that impact learning including Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, ADD/HD, and other language-based learning disabilities.

I reach students by seeing their potential and acknowledging their gifts. I spend extra time designing individualized lessons that will interest your child and address areas of weakness. While therapy is hard work, it does not have to be drudgery. I utilize a variety of multisensory activities and games to keep students engaged with the lesson while maintaining the therapeutic integrity of the session. I am totally invested in your child’s success and share in their joy as they emerge as independent readers. This is more than a job to me, it’s a life calling.

What is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is commonly misunderstood — It is much more complicated than confusing your “b’s” and “d’s” or your “p’s” and “q’s”.

The International Dyslexia Association defines dyslexia as a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate/fluent word recognition and by poor spelling/decoding abilities.

What They Say

I tried so hard for so long to help Sean learn to read, but nothing had ever seemed to help much. Now, Sean can read almost anything, with amazing accuracy. What Kellie has achieved with him is nothing short of a miracle.

Lisa

Kellie is incredibly professional and kind. She works with the highest level of integrity and grace. My kids have built a very strong, nurturing relationship with her all while advancing their reading and writing skills tremendously. I can not believe how far each of my children have come during their time with her. Kellie is also an incredible ally for each one of my children’s academic needs and growth both in and out of the classroom. I can honestly say that having Kellie work with my children has been life changing for them.

Alexandra

My daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia in the third grade, after almost four years of private tutors, plus countless hours of working on reading at home. Nothing seemed to help very much, not even her special education cross-categorical classroom she started after her diagnosis. After she started receiving dyslexia therapy from Kellie, my husband and I were amazed at the change in her reading skills, within the first couple of months. She has continued to progress quickly through the program and not only do her reading skills continue to improve, but she is much more confident in her reading skills now, often volunteering to read aloud in class. Kellie is extremely patient during her therapy sessions and also keeps my daughter’s interest throughout each session. I would recommend Kellie and the dyslexia therapy to any parent that has a child with dyslexia who is struggling in school. It is truly worth every penny!!
