In the education community, I am best known for my knowledge and expertise in developing multisensory instruction in literacy and mathematics for learners with disabilities. I have developed a variety of literacy and math instructional methodologies using the Internet and assistive technology.
More about me
Academic Therapy uses a variety of techniques to facilitate processing, develop autonomy, focus on executive functioning, and improve abstract learning for students with disabilities. In combination with my more than 15 years working in the field of education, I have supplemented my teaching experiences with graduate-level coursework in psychology, education, reading and math instruction, and technology. This results in methodologies that are both research and results based. These systematic techniques integrate social media, video chats, mobile technology, videos, apps, and innovative teaching strategies to create opportunities for academic success. Working with teachers, trainers, schools, and education organizations, I collaborate to create 21st Century environments for "my" teens and young adults with learning disabilities and ADHD.

It is my vision to work myself out of a job. When I am no longer necessary, it means that the teachers and learners have the skills to be independent. That is a time for celebration.
