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.

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.
