Symptoms of Dyslexia
The occupation of reading & writing is supported by evaluating and strengthening the following foundational skills:

-Fine Motor Skills small, precise hand movements (handwriting)
-Oculomotor eye movement and coordination (scanning left to right)
-Primitive Reflexes non-integrated reflexes can impede function
-Social emotional self-esteem, confidence, and motivation

Our Story on Dyslexia
"As an OT and AT Specialist, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of children with Dyslexia symptoms. Through conducting first-time AT evaluations for numerous upper-middle and high school leveled students, I have come to recognize this as an underserved population. I also have a loved one who faces these challenges, and I see firsthand the frustration and lack of confidence that often accompany's it.
My focus on dyslexia support is driven by my goal to help children who struggle with the essential skills of reading and writing. Through therapeutic intervention and the use of assistive technology, I aim to improve their confidence and strengthen their foundational skills. For parents who are seeking additional support, I am here to help!"
