One on One Virtual Dyslexia Therapy / Online Reading Intervention

97.65 £ /h

I provide one on one virtual dyslexia therapy using Take Flight: A Comprehensive Reading Intervention for Students with Dyslexia. The curriculum was created for children who have been identified with Dyslexia. It is an individualized Orton-Gillingham based approach which addresses all areas of language development needed to create successful spellers, readers and writers.

What is Dyslexia therapy?
Intervention for dyslexia directly, explicitly and systematically teaches an awareness of the sounds of language, letter-sound associations, vocabulary and strategies for understanding written language. Guided, repeated practice enables the child to apply what they have learned efficiently. Intensity (e.g., smaller group size, extended length of sessions and treatment, more individualized lessons) is what distinguishes dyslexia intervention from regular reading instruction.

We are retraining the Dyslexic brain by lighting up the parts of the brain that are working well, and helping to compensate for the part that is weaker.

Who can teach Take Flight?
I have been certified to teach Take Flight, only certified practitioners may utilize the Take Flight program. The program was created at the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia & Learning Disorders at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas, Texas. It is a highly effective, multi-sensory, explicit, systematic phonetic method of instruction for both reading and spelling. We start at the phoneme level of language, at very basic skills, and progress to the more nuanced skills such as morphology and etymology.

How often do children need therapy?
This program is intended to be taught 5 times a week for 45 minutes each session or 4 times a week for 60 minutes each session. If necessary, we can make accommodations for timing.

Therapy is a marathon, not a sprint.

Spanish is a fun and interesting language to learn. Not only does it allow you to travel through Spain and speak with one of the funniest and most enjoyable populations in Europe, visit new amazing places, and enjoy real Spanish food, but it is also the second most spoken language in the whole world!

If you are a beginner, I will help you with the basics of the Spanish language, for you to start understanding the language and the grammar, while being able to say a few sentences and words.

If you can already speak some Spanish, no problem! We can practice the language by choosing any conversation topic you like to reach the objective you desire.

Join me in this journey, I can't wait to meet you!
