I have Orton-Gillingham-based training from Neuhaus Education Center. The Orton-Gillingham approach is a hallmark of effective dyslexia instruction. It includes phonemic awareness, sound-symbol (phoneme-grapheme) correspondences, patterns and conventions of print (orthography), morphology, syntax, and semantics. My methods of instruction are direct and explicit, systematic and cumulative, multisensory, and diagnostic and prescriptive.
Using a diagnostic-prescriptive approach, I assess children's and adult’s strengths and areas of needed support to tailor the program to address their specific needs while also capitalizing on his/her strengths.

Understanding Dyslexia as a Learning Disability
Dyslexia is not an uncommon learning disability. It is estimated that about one in five people have dyslexia. Some characteristics of dyslexia can include difficulty with phonological awareness, reading words accurately and fluently, and poor spelling. It can have secondary consequences such as difficulty understanding and acquiring vocabulary. Dyslexia is neurobiological in origin and is often unrelated to cognitive abilities.
Although dyslexia is lifelong since it is neurobiological in origin, it is often remediated if a child has the right tools, methods, and a highly-trained instructor to tutor him or her using academic therapy.
I offer one-on-one dyslexia and intensive reading remediation sessions near Memorial and Spring Branch, Houston, to help your child succeed. Please visit my dyslexia page to learn more about dyslexia and related information.
