Education, Teacher Training, & Consultation about Reading DifficultiesAuthor: Linguistic RemediesPrivate clinical practice of educational therapy with children with language-based reading and writing difficulties, many with dyslexia. I usually work with the child and parent as a team. I often mentor a "coach" as part of the team, who has taken my classes and is working to become a private therapist. I also teach 3 levels of classes in "Linguistic Remedies for Reading Disabilities " to teachers and parents, in order to train more teachers to become skilled at helping more children with reading difficulties to become eager and independent readers. Finally, I consult with software companies and school districts on programs and educational questions.

Support Network for Teachers and Therapists who use "Linguistic Remedies" as their core methodology for teaching children with reading, spelling, and writing difficulties.

I was Principal Investigator on 4 federally funded grants since 2000 at CLEAR (Computational Language and EducAtional Research), leading a team of researchers studying computer-based reading interventions and assessments for children with reading difficulties. Prior to that I collaborated on intervention research with talking computers at Institute of Behavior Genetics. All this research helped clarify questions about how best to teach children with reading difficulties, with or without computers.
