About Deborah

Hi! I am a licensed Virginia teacher and former special education teacher with a passion for helping students build confidence and a love of learning. As an educational consultant, I provide individualized reading instruction and academic support. I have experience working with students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, slow processing speed, emotional/behavioral challenges, and intellectual disabilities. I identify where students are struggling and create targeted plans to build skills, confidence, and independence. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology, a master's degree in Special Education, and am trained in evidence-based structured literacy, including LETRS and Orton-Gillingham-aligned approaches. I also assist families in collaborating with school teams, including IEP/504 processes, to support student success. I love partnering with students and families to make learning meaningful, enjoyable, and empowering-and I'd be thrilled to support your child's journey!
