On-Going Support
During our initial consultation, we’ll talk about your child’s strengths and weaknesses, educational goals, and what you are looking for in a tutor. This is a chance for me to learn about your child from your perspective, so I’ll take as much information as I can get!
I will tell you about (or show you, if we connect via Zoom!) what a typical session might look like, the initial assessment process, and answer any questions you might have.
The initial academic assessment consists of five parts. A phonics screener and criterion-referenced test will be used.
- This is the first step in helping students reach their full potential
- Identification of academic strengths and weaknesses
- The information gathered from an assessment is used to create an individualized instruction plan.
- An academic profile will be developed and a detailed report will be shared
- This assessment takes approximately 45-50 minutes.
- *Please be advised that a formal neuropsychological evaluation by a licensed educational psychologist (in most cases), neuropsychologist (less frequently), speech-language therapist (in some cases) is required to diagnose dyslexia.
During our follow-up consultation, I will explain the results of your child’s academic assessment, if reading therapy is recommended, and if so, the frequency and duration of therapy.
Continuous, ongoing support is provided as a way to keep you informed of your child’s progress towards their personal academic goals. Conversations between the family, child, and myself is part of reading therapy process!
- We give students the push they need when they feel they can’t do it alone.
- We teach students the skills they need when they aren’t getting it at school.
- We prepare students for academic and emotional success in school and life.
- We help students who have dyslexia reach their full potential.
