I am an experienced special education learning disability specialist and tutor servicing children having difficulty with reading, who may be dyslexic or at risk for problems in the areas of reading skills, spelling, and reading comprehension. I am trained in multiple scientific, evidenced based multi-sensory reading and spelling programs including Orton-Gillingham, Lindamood-Bell, the Wilson Reading System, Slingerland, Alphabetic Phonics, Nina Traub's Recipe for Reading, and Shirley Kahn's Intersensory Learning Program. I am also trained in Nanci Bell's Visualizing and Verbalizing for Language Comprehension and Thinking Skills.
Having training and experience in all of these scientific, evidence based, multi-sensory programs allows me to tailor the instructional program to the unique needs of every child in need of remediation.
In addition to working in a public school as a resource room teacher, CSE evaluator, dyslexia specialist and private tutor, my background includes acting as a BOCES Consultant and speaker at conferences and workshops throughout Nassau County school districts. I have been a guest speaker and presented workshops for the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), Columbia University Teachers College, and the Graduate Center for Integrated Teachers Education (CITE). I have also given a full day lecture and workshop to administrators throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties at the CW Post Campus of Long Island University.
I have been been honored by the Long Beach School District, The National Committee for the Furtherance of Jewish Education of Nassau County, and have been named as the "Unsung Hero" by the International Dyslexia Associaion.
