Special Education is one of my top subjects! Am considered an expert in dyslexia. I know of other special ed issues that can coexhist. I help you to understand the difficulties your child has, and what can be done about them. Some have coexisting auditory processing and/or visual processing disorders.

I can pick out the dyslexic after after meeting with students and determine that they are dyslexic, then the diagnostic work confirms they are.

If I feel I am not able to help with another disability, I will make a refer to the appropriate organization or individual who may be able to help you. I can teach you the overview about special education law.

One-on-one, sequential, multisensory, and repetitive approach.

For the past 2 1/2 years I have been a substitute teacher, tutor for 5th graders, and part-time counselor for PreK - 5th grade at different Elementary schools in Corpus Christi, TX. I also taught Study Skills, Test Preparation Skills, and Organizational Skills to my students.
I am Special Education Certified, and know how to work with students with different disabilities. This includes ADHD/ADD problems, Dyslexia, Reading comprehension, Autism, and many others. My daughter is Autistic, has a learning disability, and is Bi-Polar, so I have personal experience with people with disabilities. At present I am tutoring a College Student who is Autistic. I have the patience and understanding plus skills to tutor anyone.

Read More About Marion W...

I attended college later in life. Recently, the opportunity arose to better myself. I chose Early Childhood Education and then continued on to obtain my Bachelor's Degree. Following this, I returned to school for Nursing. Eventually, we moved to Texas where I applied,tested and obtained my LCCA License.
While in New York State, I was employed through the Alternative Suspension Program as an LVN. While there,I assisted with the teaching of students. This in turn gave me the opportunity to obtain my certification in Teaching. I remained in this position for two years. During this time, I had my own case load of 5-8 students grade 7-12. Following this position, I was employed at a tutor for those youth who were home bound.
