Barton Reading and Spelling Tutoring
As trained Barton Reading & Spelling System tutors, we provide one-on-one, individualized instruction. This system can be customized to work at each student's pace and works for both children and adults.
The Barton Reading & Spelling System is based on the Orton-Gillingham approach, which is recommended by the International Dyslexia Association.

Our Advocacy Services
The laws involving education guarantee every student the right to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) tailored to each student's specific and unique needs. We have the certification and personal experience to ensure that students receive the education they are entitled to.
The goal of our advocacy services is to provide parents with the information they need to ensure that their child receives an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan that meets the needs of their student. This includes appropriate interventions* and accommodations*.

*Interventions - “Interventions are systematic, well structured and multi-sensory, and they incorporate direct teaching, learning and time for consolidation, with frequent revision to take account of the likely limited attention and learning difficulties of the child.”

*Accommodations - “An accommodation is a change that removes a barrier to learning or getting work done. In many cases, accommodations are legally required to give equal access to people with disabilities. Accommodations don’t change what students learn in school. Accommodations also don’t change the expectations for performance. They simply offer support to account for challenges.”
