About

Tonya

What advice would you give to a family who is on the fence about signing up for a learning assessment (or counseling/therapy)?

I would highly recommend reaching out and getting more support in whatever capacity is necessary. There are so many resources available to families and students. Personally, special education has helped my student with her executive functioning deficits and learning struggles. My other daughter has benefited from counseling to help with her anxiety.

What would you say to someone who is very anxious about learning problems in school?

We all learn differently and we just need to find the best way they learn. I would also tell them they are not on their own.

Why are you passionate about helping students with learning differences?

I love helping students learn new skills and getting excited about it. I love the light bulb moment! Getting kids excited about reading and writing is so rewarding. All kids need a champion and I want to be that for them.
