Meet Kathleen

As a dyslexic individual, I know firsthand the struggles of reading, writing, and spelling. In first grade, I felt like a failure as the letters didn’t make sense to me, and my teachers were unable to help. It wasn't until third grade, when I started working with an Orton-Gillingham certified tutor, that I finally learned to read using a direct, systematic, and multi-sensory approach.

I then attended a private school for dyslexic students, which provided the learning environment I needed. Returning to public high school, I successfully applied the strategies and accommodations I had learned. In college, with updated evaluations and necessary accommodations, I finally felt a sense of relief and success.

As an adult, I continue to use assistive technology to manage my dyslexia, turning its challenges into advantages. Being dyslexic has shaped who I am today, and I’m grateful for it. I want to help children with dyslexia feel successful and empowered by sharing my knowledge and strategies. I'm here to support you and your child in finding your path.
