“Ever since I met Erica, I have picked her brain on all things related to dyslexia. As soon as my daughter was old enough, we signed her up with Erica for an eval and subsequent dyslexia therapy. I am constantly wowed by Erica’s skills and patience in working with my daughter. Her passion is so evident daily in her work and she’s an absolute pro at what she does.”- Janelle G.
When a child has dyslexia, reading struggles often show up as frustration, avoidance, slow progress, low confidence and homework battles that leave everyone exhausted. Parents or caregivers are often left wondering why such a smart child is having such a hard time.
This therapy is designed for children who need more than extra practice. They need structured, explicit instruction that helps them build real reading skills and begin to feel successful again.
