Hi there. I’m Nancy…

I found my calling early in life. In third grade, I had a classmate named Robby. He couldn’t read and fell behind. He was always frustrated and hated school. My heart broke for him.

I never stopped worrying for Robby because life has taught me that learning difficulties don’t go away on their own. Instead, they compound and can lead to bigger issues that stifle their growth and life direction. That knowledge drives me to help all children succeed to their fullest potential.

It’s an honor to do this work. I know how much parents care and I know how much kids want to feel confident and independent. I will guide your family through the process of learning what your child needs and procuring what is necessary, and then I will work with your family to use the new plan or accommodations so that your child can make the most of them.

I’ve seen the powerful transformation that happens when kids and their families are supported and empowered by professionals who truly care about creating the brightest possible academic outcomes, and I will be there for you the whole way.

 

Learning difficulties don’t go away on their own. 

Instead, they can compound and lead to bigger issues that are more difficult to overcome. Your child’s challenges don’t need to stifle their love of learning, opportunities, creativity, and social connections.

 
 
 

For more than 30 years, I’ve worked with thousands of families. Together, we’ve created and implemented effective plans to ensure that their children succeed in school and beyond. My background as a school psychologist and administrator gives me unique insights into the clinical and educational best practices for each of my students. 

 

I help engage school staff, parents, and children as problem-solving partners.

School teams listen to me and I listen to them. Connection and trust fortify and streamline our shared dedication to lasting results.

My approach to advocacy and intervention is simple:

  1. Thorough student learning assessment

  2. Friendly collaboration with parents, students, and school teams

  3. In-depth problem solving and planning

  4. Ongoing guidance for effective learning plan implementation and educational best-practices

I’m an in-demand trainer and consultant for parents, community groups, and school teams who want a fresh approach to educational interventions that feel less stressful and create better outcomes.

I have spent my life learning the secret sauce for creating positive outcomes for the children and families I support. I know that when we figure out what children need to succeed, they soar.
