“"My compensatory skills played a role in my success as a scientist because one has to intuit many different things that are going on at the same time and apply those to a particular problem to not just concentrate on one of them, but to bring many in laterally.”

Rather than seeking to eliminate the non-typicals, perhaps the case of Carol Grieder is a reminder that we should embrace those who see things a bit differently.”

From grade-school “remedial” teaching to the Nobel stage, molecular biologist Carol W. Greider turned obstacles into fuel for discovery. Her groundbreaking discovery of a crucial enzyme, telomerase, reshaped our understanding of aging, cancer, and cellular immortality. Greider’s story is a reb...

“At school I feel like I am a star shape being wedged into square hole. To fit in, I have to break off all my sparkly points… but they are my best bits.” – George

L💛VE this sooooo much!
This is often what it feels like to be a school kid with dyslexia.”

So proud of Isaiah. We get up early to get his session in before school and he has had the best attitude this week. He is working hard on digraph ch, prefixes, cursive, descriptive paragraphs, and derivative spelling this morning!

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month!

1 in 5 children has dyslexia — and these are facts every parent should know.
Your child’s story matters. It deserves to be supported, celebrated, and understood.
This month, let’s spread awareness, break down myths, and remind every learner they are more than enough.

Speaking of bridges…did you know many civil and structural engineers are dyslexic?! Students with dyslexia are often able to think outside the box and see problems from different angles allowing them to organize seemingly disparate pieces of information into a narrative that makes sense.

I have TWO spots remaining for Dyslexia Therapy Monday-Thursday 1:00-4:00. I will be using the same program I will use once I become a licensed therapist. It would be a great opportunity to get your child the help they need at a discounted rate while I’m in training. Please contact me if you have questions about the program or rates.
*your child does NOT have to have an offficial dyslexia diagnosis to benefit from this program
**program is beneficial for students of ANY age beyond Kindergarten
