I am a homeschool mom to a dyslexic child. I never imagined becoming a dyslexia tutor until my own child started struggling with reading, spelling, and writing. As I became more aware of the dyslexia symptoms, I noticed many other families that had children who also struggled in those same areas.
When I first started homeschooling, I knew nothing about dyslexia. When my child started third grade and could not spell first grade words, I knew something was not right. I found an Orton-Gillingham based program to use and that was the beginning of understanding for my child.
I have previously volunteered and became certified in an Orton-Gillingham program through a local non-profit organization. Then I found Susan Barton and the Barton Reading and Spelling System. Susan Barton is an internationally recognized expert in the field of dyslexia.
