Early Intervention Specialist
I’m an experienced special needs teacher and adaptive learning specialist, with a Master’s Degree in Special Education and an Associates Certificate in Orton-Gillingham instruction. I work with children from birth through elementary grades.
Does your child have dyslexia and an attention deficit? Sensory processing difficulties and math struggles? Pragmatic communication problems and learning delays? Is your child “complicated?”
These are the challenges I love to teach. How can I make their learning fun? How can I best teach them the way they need to learn?

Orton-Gillingham
The Orton-Gillingham Approach offers systematic phonics instruction with multi-sensory input. Teaching reading, writing and spelling together, it is a reliable method to assist all learners, with dyslexia or without, in becoming competent readers and writers.

“Jill has been absolutely wonderful! We’ve been able to see great improvements in our daughter’s confidence and reading skills. Jill caters every lesson specifically for our child, and then gives us a summary and items to work on before her next lesson. Our daughter is always excited when Ms. Jill is coming over!”

“Jill quickly established rapport with our son and wasn’t at all put off by his ADHD. She was adept at keeping him engaged and made sessions so much fun that our older son wanted to work with Jill, too! Jill’s work with our son put him on a solid footing for making forward progress in school.”

Jill tailors the instruction to best meet your child’s unique needs and really listens to the child to know what works. I would highly recommend using Jill.”
