She started working with students using the Orton-Gillingham method and saw huge growth in children who were not making progress using traditional classroom methods. After that, Heather left the classroom to pursue working full-time with students who have learning differences. She has attended countless trainings based on the Orton-Gillingham approach and other reading interventions. She is both ESE and reading endorsed. Heather currently works with students who have dyslexia and other learning differences at a Tampa Bay area school.
