What Clients Say
“Allison has been a critical part in helping my daughter learn how to read more efficiently and she is now reading above her 5th grade-level. I am so thankful for all she has done for our family.” -Amy 
 
“Not only were we able to schedule an evaluation with Mrs. Winters within 3 weeks of initially calling, she answered all of my questions so we knew exactly what to expect on the day of testing. She also set aside time for a separate 2 hour meeting for my husband and me explaining all of Nathan’s results and gave us a plan to help him with his reading!” -Nicki N.

"Mrs. Winters helped me a lot with my reading. At first I didn't like having to go see her every week after school but now I don't mind at all because I can read!" -Luke Z.
