My expertise is in identifying and treating dyslexia, and in helping educators and families support children with language-based learning disabilities. I'm trained in Orton-Gillingham, The Writing Revolution, UFLI, and several other evidence-based structured literacy programs. I have 17 years of experience working in mainstream and special education schools across New York, California, and Connecticut.
Most reading struggles are recognizable early. I help schools and families get ahead of them. I partner with schools to build equitable, research-based learning support programs, train teachers in evidence-based literacy instruction, and lead professional development. Learn more.
I also work with children and families directly, helping parents navigate evaluations, school services, and individualized support for children who are struggling with literacy development. Learn more.
And I’m the co-founder of How Now, a company that creates science-of-reading aligned books for beginning readers. Cat and Tad Volume 1 came out in November 2024, and Volume 2 in April, 2026. Visit How Now.
At a recent parent workshop at Patagonia’s innovative on-site child care center, where I demystified how children learn to read and shared evidence-based, developmentally appropriate ways families can support literacy at home through natural, everyday opportunities.
