"My student reads a page, then can't tell me what it said."
Reading
For one learner, progress means understanding a novel or a history chapter; for another, it means reading a menu, a schedule, or a text from a friend. As a certified reading specialist, Susan builds skills systematically, from decoding and fluency to comprehension and critical thinking, honoring the many ways a reader can show what they know.
Decoding · Fluency · Comprehension · Critical Thinking · Functional Literacy
"They have plenty to say, but getting it on the page is the battle."
Writing
Getting ideas out of their head and onto the page: organizing thoughts, structuring a paragraph or an essay, and building the stamina and confidence to get from a blank page to a finished task. Your learner leaves with tools they can use on their own, in school and beyond.
Written Expression · Organization · Composition · Communication
"Starting, organizing, finishing: every single one is a struggle."
Executive Function & Life Skills
Starting an assignment, breaking a project into pieces, managing time and materials, and speaking up when something isn't working. These "skills behind the skills" are teachable. Through a behavior specialist's lens, Susan builds routines and strategies that create real independence, with guidance for home so new habits stick.
