Virtual Dyslexia Services I diagnose dyslexia and provide individualized support grounded in the science of reading. Learn more at www.virtualmilestoneacademy.com/megan

I specialize in diagnosing and supporting individuals with dyslexia and related learning differences. I am a wife and mother. I have been a licensed Speech Therapist for over 12 years. I have worked a great deal with children ages 0-3 in Early Intervention as well as in Elementary and Middle Schools. I find that my background as a Speech Language Pathologist and my intrinsic desire for academics have been a great combination for enabling me to help many students over the years. I am currently pursuing my Dyslexia certification at the University of Florida. I have an innate passion for child advocacy and I understand its vital, priceless impact for a child. In this way, I stand up for children and I strive to understand what impacts them. I am creative and have an unlimited amount of ideas of new ways to teach a child and their families.

My job isn’t to force children open.
It’s to create enough safety, patience, and encouragement that they decide to unfold on their own. 🌿

The shame plant closes its leaves the moment it’s touched.

Not out of weakness, but to protect itself.

Tutoring can feel the same.

Sometimes a student’s frustration, fear, or “I can’t do this” moment touches a sensitive spot, and they shut down for a bit.

They’re not giving up, they’re guarding themselves.

It is hard to explain why there is so much counseling and rapport building during a dyslexia session; the shame plant helps us all understand how a child feels inside. 💚

If you want to improve a system, the most effective route is respectful, strategic advocacy. Violence might grab attention. But it destroys credibility and doesn’t build a better future.

The story of Luigi Mangione is not a model for real change.

• Violence targets a person. That doesn’t fix a broken system.
• Real advocacy targets systems. Reform, policy changes, public awareness, organized efforts; that’s how issues get fixed.
• With power and resources, there are better paths. Instead of a violent act, someone like Mangione could have used his time, tools, or connections to spotlight problems — through writing, organizing, lobbying, education, or working with others who want change.
• Real change is slow, steady, and collective. It isnot dramatic and destructive.

On October 22, my student was unable to read Book 1 in the Half-Pint Kids decodable series without help or frustration (pre-reader level; below Kindergarten expectations).

At the end of this week, just 6 weeks later, they will have completed the entire series with structured literacy tutoring support.

What this represents objectively:
• Mastery of basic phonics (consonants + short vowels)
• Accurate blending and decoding of CVC words in connected text
• Reading stamina across books that increase gradually in complexity

Grade-level significance:
• From pre-reader
→ to early reader
• Roughly equivalent to moving from below Kindergarten skills
→ to early 1st-grade foundational decoding

This student made approximately one full year of decoding progress in about 6 weeks! Demonstrating how effective explicit, structured literacy instruction can be!

This student is awesome but I have never met a kid that wasn’t.
All kids can do this, with the right support.
Parents are the BEST support, but parents need support too!
Reading progress, like this, takes a lot of careful teamwork.
It’s totally possible! Every time.

People are often surprised when I say my third-grader doesn’t get homework from school… but we still sit together for about 30 minutes after school. Not because she has assignments, but because I want to give her something even more valuable:

What I’m really teaching her is resilience, patience, communication, how to work together, and how to set goals. I’m showing her that learning isn’t something the teacher makes you do, it’s something you take ownership of.

These everyday moments at the table help her build confidence, develop good habits, and understand that growth takes effort. And honestly, it brings us closer.

And that’s why our little after-school routine matters to me. 💛
