Learning Disorders

People with learning disorders such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia and executive functioning issues often have gifts on the flip side that are buried deep within after years of being told they "aren't trying hard enough." Over time they begin to fuse with the thought that they are stupid when in fact many are highly intelligent. I offer parent coaching and support to help children with learning disorders reach their fullest potential. I provide advocacy, support and therapy to help address deficits and build on strengths to improve overall sense of competence and self esteem. I also refer to local community resources and specialists (occupational/speech therapy, developmental optometrists, educational specialists) as needed.

Learning disorders can impact kids, teens and their parents in unexpected ways. It's not only that academics can be challenging, but also the way you hear what people say to you, your relationships, your emotions and resulting behavior can be significantly affected. Ever had your child with ADHD have a complete meltdown when transitioning from one activity to another? Ever struggled to get your child with a Reading Disorder off to school? Then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I assess for learning disorders in math, reading, and writing.

I have a background in LD/ADHD assessments and neuropsychology. Prior to becoming a Clinical Psychologist, I obtained a Master's in Learning Disabilities from one of the top institutions in the field, Northwestern University. I can help you interpret your testing results, understand how they impact your day-to-day functioning, and teach you to advocate for yourself or your child whether at school or in the workplace.

We provide full comprehensive evaluations of learning disability e.g., dyslexia for children and adolescents. Our evaluations include an individual support plan and school companion document.

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, I have experience evaluating and diagnosing children with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia using comprehensive assessment tools.

Dyscalcula, dyslexia, writing, reading assessment, intervention and treatment

Learning Disorders such as dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia have the potential to cause significant impairment in educational functioning. Psychological testing can provide diagnostic clarification and effective recommendations to address the academic difficulties and improve educational functioning.

I too live with a learning disability called dyslexia. Do you have a learning disability, and it is impacting school, work, and life? Let's chat.

I am a practicing School Psychologist who has worked in the Elementary (K-6) and High School (9-12) levels. I work closely with General Education and Special Education teachers to help design intervention and instructional approaches for student success. Furthermore, I emphasize finding collaborative solutions that provide meaningful (positive) impacts on students' lives.

I have two children who struggled through school in different ways with their different learning disorders.

Navigating the standard world with a non-standard way of thinking can be overwhelming! But possible! Learning to celebrate your strengths and appreciate your differences, I believe each person can learn to pave a more manageable paths for their lives.
