Sue Park
Founder of The Park Academy, Certified Orton-Gilingham Instructor
I remember sitting at home week after week writing out my spelling words 20 times each. That is what it took for me to learn the words. We had a spelling book with 20 new words each week. There was no creativity or flexibility, just practice followed by more practice.
Dyslexia is an everyday part of life for myself and my family. My mom struggled and so did one of my brothers and one of my sisters. I decided to learn how to help others who dealt with dyslexia.
My history of dyslexia allows me to share with parents a perspective that reflects the struggles of their own children.
It is my desire to help you. You know your child better than anyone else and you can help them achieve their best. I hope that you will allow me the honor of working with you.
