HandinHand Reading Services

My son had struggled to read for the longest time. We even tried a few tutors through a nationwide company which I had to beg and drag him to participate in each session. Since finding Ms Ann my son has made up grade levels and he rushes to the computer when it's time for his lessons. Ms. Ann has become a treasured trusted adult in my son's life that we will never be able to repay her with the gratitude we hold for her.

I never thought my child would ever learn to read. We tried everything. She is so excited when she finishes a class.

Having had the good fortune to collaborate with Ann Lawyer this year, I can attest to the fact that you'd be hard-pressed to find a more passionate and knowledgeable dyslexia specialist and educator. Ann's dedication to her own ongoing learning, particularly with regard to using technology as a means to reach out and support families and fellow educators has been inspiring. 

Ann has been an incredible support for T as she identified her dyslexia through diagnostic testing and then has worked with her over the past two years to bring her from reading only some three letter words (roughly at the K or early 1st grade level) and not being able to focus with more than one word in her field of vision to being able to read and comprehend passages at the 4th grade level (T is currently in 5th grade). Additionally, she has helped our family navigate the challenges of testing and pursuing RTI support and eventually an IEP to further support T's growth in the school setting.

Our daughter was diagnosed almost a year ago with dyslexia. She was struggling to read and started to fall behind her peers. Our school provided resources to help her, but it was not personalized enough to fully teach her how to decode words. We sought outside help from Ms. Lawyer and could not be happier. Our daughter's confidence has gone through the roof since.
