Empowering My dyslexic & adhd learners

A sneak peek into my Orton Gillingham Therapist Tool Box and how I support my dyslexic students’ and ADHD self-confidence…

Many students who have learning differences or dyslexia lack self-esteem and have poor concentration, anxiety, motivation, or poor study skills. They’re so busy playing “catch up” that they lose sight of the bigger picture. This is where I come in. Unlike tutoring, which focuses on certain gaps in specific subject areas, Educational Therapy addresses the actual way students process the information and teaches them specific strategies they can apply in any subject. 

I help my students with executive functioning skills- a set of mental skills that help them to break down tasks into manageable steps, plan ahead while still staying on task and being organized. Most importantly, my students start to gain more confidence as they learn how to set goals, and these are skills they take away for success in school and life.
