Decoding is the foundation of reading, allowing children to recognize and interpret the sounds of letters and letter patterns to form words. Our Decoding Skills Development program is designed to help children who struggle with this essential skill, ensuring they can confidently break down and read unfamiliar words. Through systematic and personalized instruction, we focus on phonics, word recognition, and sound-letter correspondence to strengthen your child’s ability to decode with accuracy and ease.

We offer individualized instruction focusing on phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, and comprehension, tailored to meet the unique needs of each learner. Our goal is to empower students with dyslexia to build confidence, achieve academic success, and develop a positive relationship with reading.

Spelling is an essential skill that supports reading and writing fluency. Our spelling therapy program addresses various challenges related to spelling, from basic phonetic spelling to more complex rules and patterns. We use a multisensory approach that integrates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles to reinforce spelling skills. This method helps individuals understand and remember spelling rules, leading to improved reading comprehension and writing clarity. Our personalized sessions cater to each client's unique needs, whether they're learning foundational skills or refining more advanced abilities. Through consistent practice and tailored strategies, we aim to boost our clients' spelling confidence and competence.

Phonological awareness is a crucial pre-reading skill that involves recognizing and manipulating the sounds within words. Our Phonological Awareness Development program focuses on helping children understand the sound structure of language, including the ability to identify, segment, blend, and play with sounds. This foundational skill is essential for successful decoding and reading fluency. Through engaging, research-based activities, we support your child in developing strong phonological awareness, setting the stage for confident and effective reading.

Writing is a critical communication skill that encompasses everything from basic sentence structure to complex expression of ideas. Our writing therapy program focuses on helping individuals overcome challenges associated with writing, such as dysgraphia, executive function deficits, or other learning disabilities. We offer personalized strategies that improve handwriting, grammar, organization, and style. Through a combination of direct instruction, guided practice, and the use of assistive technologies, we help clients enhance their writing abilities. Our goal is to empower individuals to express themselves clearly and effectively, boosting their confidence and academic performance.
