I have 25+ years experience as a special education and primary classroom teacher.   While in Texas, I trained as a Certified Academic Language Therapist and worked exclusively with students identified with dyslexia in grades 1-12.  I use the Orton-Gillingham approach as the base for my  teaching.  I love what I do and believe it's the best job in the world!
