We take a personal approach when providing evidence-based therapeutic services. Each student’s prescriptive plan is part of Luke Waites' Scottish Rite "Take Flight" curriculum, which is Orton-Gillingham based and customized for individual needs. Dyslexia therapy is a multisensory and explicit program. Students progress through lessons that are direct, structured, and sequential. The critical task of rewiring the brain requires time and repetition. Therapy time can vary depending on the student's severity of dyslexia and other comorbidities. We can work together privately or in a small group and will continuously monitor for progress and understanding throughout the therapy.

School Advocacy
It can be overwhelming to understand all that is involved when it comes to dyslexia and other specific learning disabilities. It is essential to understand your rights as a parent, your student’s rights, and the legal requirements of schools. We help you interpret the data and reports, navigate the meetings, explain special accommodations, and support you and the school.
Our experts have experience in public and private school settings. We have been on both sides of the table, as a parent to a child with special needs and as a school administrator. We understand the academic language and complexities of section 504s(accommodations), ARDs(admission review dismissal), and IEPs(individualized education plan). We know the options available as a student transitions throughout their academic career. As an educational specialist, we are available to support you and your student.
"... Carrie also taught us a lot about Section 504, how to ensure we had the right 504 plan for our daughter, and how to advocate for her rights to learn in school..."

I began my teaching career in a second-grade classroom. I loved teaching and believed all of my students could learn in their unique way. I excelled in my craft, especially when working with students struggling to learn using conventional methods. Empathizing with their frustrations and the impact on self-esteem, I sought positive ways to make connections. I was devoted to my students and keenly aware of their ability to understand when they were taught in a creative, engaging, multisensory, and stress-free environment.
Aligning with my patient and compassionate teaching style, I received a special education certification and taught in a specialized classroom. With my continued commitment to serving all students, I trained at the Luke Waite’s Center for Dyslexia at Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and became a Certified Academic Language Therapist. My experience, education, and love of teaching make me a great educator. I enjoy working with students in individual, small group, in person and virtual settings. I am committed to supporting the whole child as they grow emotionally and academically.

"Ms. Carrie helped me with spelling, fluency and more. After only working 1 year with Ms. Carrie I feel that I have improved a lot. We worked on such things as improving reading stories, sentences and phrases more fluently, we would also do spelling exercises. Ms. Carrie made it very enjoyable for me and she’s one of the nicest people I have ever met. I highly recommend working with Ms. Carrie, I always was excited to meet with her and we worked together to improve my dyslexia."
