The practice is founded on Ms. Clark's 28 years of professional experience creating specially designed instruction and delivery methodologies for the treatment of Language-Based Learning Disabilities, such as Dyslexia.

This specially designed instruction provided by Ms. Clark is individualized, evidence-based, and highly effective with rapid results that are recognized by the child's parents, teachers, and most importantly, the child him/herself.

The mission of the company is built on the truth that, “Every child is capable of and deserves the right to be taught to read, write, and understand their world."

Our primary purpose is to provide every child access to the right intervention at the right time, with the right intensity and duration (adapted from Joseph Torgesen's Catch Them Before They Fall) to fulfill this mission.

"One of my greatest joys in life is to teach a child that he/she can and will read, write, and understand the English language with precision and ease..... leading to a life of endless possibilities."
