At Learning to Learn, LLC,(https://www.learningtolearnllc.com/) I provide specialized, evidence-based services rooted in the Science of Reading. My offerings include: • Structured Literacy Intervention for students with dyslexia or reading challenges. • Special Education Advocacy to help families navigate IEPs and 504 plans. • Professional Development & Coaching for educators and school districts looking to implement research-based literacy practices.

I provide professional development and literacy coaching both locally in the Summerville/Charleston, SC area and nationwide via virtual platforms. My sessions are designed for individual teachers, small cohorts, or entire school buildings looking to bridge the gap between research and classroom practice.

Personalized education at Learning to Learn, LLC isn't just about "extra help"—it’s about Structured Literacy. By using diagnostic assessments to find exactly where a student's decoding or comprehension is breaking down, I create a targeted plan that follows the way the brain actually learns to read. This approach is far more effective for struggling readers than traditional, broad-based tutoring.

Supporting families of neurodivergent children in education works best when schools provide practical, rights-based support and families get actionable strategies they can use at home and in collaboration with educators. Learning to Learn, LLC’(https://www.learningtolearnllc.com)s approach aligns well with these goals by focusing on skill-building, individualized planning, and empowering families to understand how their child learns. 1) Provide accessible, strengths-based information (Learning to Learn, LLC (https://www.learningtolearnllc.com)emphasis) • Explain neurodivergence in plain language and center strengths alongside support needs. • Share clear guides on accommodations, school processes, and “what to ask for” in meetings. • Help families track patterns (attention, sensory load, executive functioning, fatigue) so supports match real learning conditions. 2) Build practical, individualized plans that teach skills—not just manage behavior Alongside IEP/504 planning, Learning to Learn, LLC–(https://www.learningtolearnllc.com)style supports prioritize “learning how to learn,” including: • Executive function supports (planning, task initiation, working memory, organization) • Study and academic skill coaching (reading comprehension routines, writing structure, math problem-solving frameworks) • Self-regulation and metacognition (recognizing what helps, advocating for needs, using tools independently) • Goal-setting with measurable, functional outcomes (what success looks like in class and at home) 3) Collaborative teaming with families, educators, and specialists • Establish consistent routines and shared language across home and school (same strategies, same cues). • Use regular check-ins (brief, structured updates) to adjust supports quickly. • Ensure responsibilities are clear: who provides which accommodation, when, and how progress is measured. 4) Training and coaching for educators focused on inclusive instruction • Universal Design for Learning (UDL) strategies that reduce barriers for everyone. • Explicit instruction, scaffolding, and clarity (models, exemplars, checklists, chunking). • Neurodiversity-affirming classroom management that avoids “compliance-first” approaches and focuses on skills and environment fit. 5) Create flexible learning environments that reduce friction • Sensory supports (movement breaks, seating options, reduced noise/visual clutter, predictable transitions). • Attention and workload supports (shorter tasks, extended time, alternative output formats). • Clear routines and visual supports (timers, visual schedules, rubrics, step-by-step directions). 6) Emotional support and parent empowerment • Parent coaching and support groups to reduce isolation and build confidence. • Validate caregiver experiences and focus on sustainable routines rather than perfection. • Teach families how to interpret school data, ask effective questions, and problem-solve collaboratively. 7) Advocacy and navigation support • Prepare families for meetings (agenda, priorities, documentation, sample requests). • Translate evaluations into practical accommodations and teachable skills. • Support families in ensuring services are delivered consistently, not just written in a plan. 8) Tools and resources (including assistive technology) • Recommend tools matched to needs: speech-to-text, audiobooks, graphic organizers, planners, reminder systems. • Teach the child to use tools independently (a core “learning to learn” outcome), not just provide them.

As your advocate, I act as a bridge between your family and the school district. I help you understand your child’s rights under IDEA, decode complex psychoeducational evaluations, and ensure that the IEP or 504 Plan actually meets your child’s unique needs. My goal is to arm you with the knowledge and verbiage needed to write an IEP that matches your child's strengths, while breaking down the barriers that hinder their progress. I strive to foster a collaborative relationship with the school while ensuring your child receives the evidence-based instruction they deserve.

Many families seek advocacy when they feel their child isn't making sufficient progress or when the "data" provided by the school doesn't seem to match what they see at home. I can review existing IEPs to ensure the goals are S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) and that the services provided are aligned with the Science of Reading.

While I have a deep understanding of special education law and can help you navigate the system and resolve disputes, I am not an attorney and do not provide legal advice. My focus is on educational outcomes and ensuring the instructional programming is effective. If a situation requires legal due process, I can help you identify when it may be time to consult with a special education attorney.
