I have 19 years experience teaching in the field of special education. I have taught grades Kindergarten through grade 5. During my first few years of teaching I was trained to used The Wilson Reading System Level I. That began my journey for learning as much as I can about students with reading disabilities, in particular Dyslexia. I have since jumped at any opportunity to learn a new approach/program as I believe every child learns differently. I received my Master's degree in Special Education/Reading Specialist. Since then I have also been certified in the Orton-Gillingham Approach through IMSLEC and I hold a certification through CERI.
