I am a wife and mother of three children.  I worked in Early Childhood Education for over 20 years.  During that time, I founded and directed an Early Childhood Education program at my church in 2009.  This program received the highest ratings in Kindergarten Readiness scores for the duration of the program.  When it became evident that two of my children were struggling in school, I knew that I needed to be able to help my own children with their education.  It took over two years to be able to understand why my children were not learning at the same rate as their peers.   After extensive neurological testing, my two children were diagnosed with Dyslexia.  The severity of Dyslexia ranges from mild to severe.  The Orton Gillingham Approach was the recommended method for remediation by the neuropsychologist.  There were no certified Orton Gillingham practitioners in my area to my dismay.  I wanted to get my children the help they needed, so I decided to get trained in the Orton Gillingham approach.  I went on to obtain my certification and became a certified Orton Gillingham practitioner.
