Every family’s path looks different. I offer layered support starting with parent education and advocacy, so you can choose what best meets your child’s needs.
Know your rights & how to advocate for your child at school.
When you want customized guidance and no more delays in support at school for your struggling reader.
Even the most prepared parents benefit from support. I provide strategies, coaching before the meeting, and advocacy during IEP and school meetings so you can confidently advocate for your child when the pressure's on.
I help parents of struggling readers advocate with confidence so their children can get the reading support they need at school.
I believe every child can learn to read with the right instruction. But I also know that access to that instruction often depends on how informed and empowered a parent feels. When families understand what effective reading instruction looks like and how to ask for it, outcomes change.
As a literacy and dyslexia specialist trained in the Science of Reading, and as the parent of a dyslexic learner, I understand both the professional and personal sides of this journey. I know how overwhelming it can feel to watch your child struggle, hear mixed messages from school, and wonder if you’re doing enough.
That’s why my work focuses on advocacy first. Through evidence-based guidance, step-by-step education, and personalized coaching, I help parents navigate school systems, communicate clearly, and move forward with a plan that actually makes sense.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own. With the right tools and support, you can advocate effectively, and your child can build the confidence and skills they need to become a strong reader.

The scripts are so helpful. The PDF where everything you talked about is summed up is so great. Having the summary and the how-to written down is gold.
