Pursuing certification as a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) has been a deeply transformative experience, strengthening my commitment to supporting students with language-based learning differences, including dyslexia. I have never encountered training as comprehensive and impactful as this. My training reflects that commitment: I have completed nearly 700 hours working directly with students and over 200 hours in instructional methods—an intensity even greater than that of earning my Master’s in Early Childhood Education and my Certificate in Advanced Studies in Leadership and Advocacy.
Through this work, I am trained to provide evidence-based, structured, multisensory instruction that is both diagnostic and prescriptive—helping students not only read and spell, but truly understand the mechanics of language. Grounded in the science of reading, this approach equips learners with explicit, systematic strategies that unlock the written code and strengthen overall language skills.
As a Dyslexia Therapist, I combine this rigorous training with personal experience and a deep passion for advocacy. I work closely with children and adults to identify their strengths, understand their unique learning profiles, and provide the tools they need to succeed academically and beyond.
My goal is to empower learners to see dyslexia not as a barrier, but as a difference that can be managed with the right strategies and support. I bring both expertise and empathy to every session, helping learners gain confidence, independence, and, ultimately, a lifelong love of learning.
