After a phone consultation, a new student is given an initial evaluation to determine the specific skills the student has in place, and what skills are missing. This evaluation helps form the individualized lesson plan for that student. We use their existing skills to help them move forward, as we methodically fill in the missing holes and add to their skill set. From day one, your child will learn something new. We will provide supplies that you can use at home to reinforce the things your child is learning in his sessions. Sessions are available in person or online. Online lessons have been very successful, saving parents driving time and reducing stress on busy families. We have therapists and therapists in training throughout the state, making in person options available in more areas as our numbers grow.
Because early and intensive intervention is key to success, it is important to meet as often as possible. As time and budgets allow, meeting 3-4 times a week is necessary to help your child progress at the rate that is needed. The holes need to be filled. The quicker they are filled, the quicker the gap can close.
Combating dyslexia is serious business. There is no time to waste. Dyslexia Therapy Utah does not have a waiting lists. Waiting should NEVER be an option. Children do NOT grow out of dyslexia. Appropriate early intervention is crucial. If Dyslexia Therapy Utah cannot find space to serve your child, we will connect you with other well-trained, trusted professionals to help.
"You will never meet anyone as kind, generous or empathic as Kathy. She is a miracle worker with my baby (7 yr old). When K wakes up in tears and doesn't want to read, Kathy knows exactly what to say to engage her. Then afterward, when I ask K how it was, she goes skipping down the hall singing, "It was ggrreeeeaaatttt!!""
"Kathy's experience and expertise gives her the ability to pinpoint gaps in a child's abilities, and then knows without question what to do to fill those gaps."
"Kathy is a wonder. We were hesitant to start dyslexia therapy but would easily do it 1,000,000 times over. Her positivity, patience, and persistence has helped us all - but especially my daughter, who used to melt down at the drop of that hat when reading. Her confidence now soars every time she opens a book."
"We are so lucky to have found Kathy. We are incredibly grateful for the progress our daughter has made. Kathy is patient, thoughtful, and executes her lessons effortlessly. She encourages our daughter every step of the way and is genuinely caring. Our daughter has become a confident reader who is now eager to engage in learning."
