Experience

I am an academic language therapist who has more than twenty years of experience working with students in the areas of language-based learning and language acquisition. I received extensive Orton-Gillingham training and was mentored through a 2760-hour practicum by a founding Fellow in the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators (AOGPE). Further, I have received additional training in: Lindamood-Bell's Phoneme Sequencing Program for Reading, Spelling, and Speech; Visualizing and Verbalizing Program of Concept Imagery for Comprehension and Thinking; Seeing Stars Program of Symbol Imagery for Sight Words, Reading, Phonemic Awareness, and Spelling; and Dr. Jane Fell Greene's Language! Program, a curriculum for at-risk and ESL students in grades K-12 and includes components for writing, spelling, reading, grammar, and vocabulary. I am a strong proponent of evidence-based reading instruction, a former member of the Board of Directors of the International Dyslexia Association (Houston Branch), and the author of School Success for Kids with Dyslexia and Other Reading Difficulties.
