What to Expect:
Personalized speech therapy tailored to your child's needs.
Free Consultation
We start with a free 15-minute call to learn about your child, answer your questions, and see if we’re a good fit. No commitment, just a chance to talk.
Reading & Dyslexia Support:
For reading or spelling challenges, I complete a non-diagnostic literacy assessment to find your child’s starting point. This guides individualized Orton-Gillingham instruction, but does not diagnose dyslexia.
COMING SOON - Speech & Language:
If you’re concerned about speech sounds or communication delays, I provide a full clinical evaluation. This may include parent interviews, play-based observation, and standardized testing when appropriate. You’ll get a clear picture of your child’s strengths and needs.
Personalized Plan
You’ll receive a clear report outlining goals, recommended frequency, and what therapy will focus on. Everything is tailored to your child.
Therapy Sessions
Sessions are supportive, structured, and engaging, whether we’re working on communication or literacy skills. You’ll get periodic updates so you always know your child’s progress and how to support them at home.

Testimonials
Hear what my past clients have to say!
"As a result of his dyslexia, my grandson struggled with reading and writing throughout elementary school. Thankfully, he had the opportunity to work with Kacie starting in fourth grade. Before working with Kacie, he labored to comprehend words and dreaded reading, especially out loud. His reading scores were well below grade level.
Kacie is both engaging and friendly. She is a patient teacher and takes the time to connect with students on a personal level. She used the Orton-Gillingham method systematically to teach skills with great results.
Within a year, my grandson’s reading scores have risen significantly. He has more confidence reading aloud and his comprehension has been boosted. We are thrilled with his progress after he struggled for years with minimal results.
We highly recommend Kacie as a reading tutor. She is approachable, dedicated and will help your child become a more confident, capable reader."
"My 11-year-old son has dyslexia, and before working with Kacie, he struggled with reading and spelling and had low confidence in his abilities. Since working with her, his progress has been remarkable. His reading accuracy, fluency, comprehension and spelling have all improved in ways I honestly didn’t think were possible in such a short time.
Kacie’s use of the Orton-Gillingham approach is structured and individualized to his needs. She is patient, fun, encouraging, and knowledgeable about dyslexia. She knows how to break skills down in a way that makes sense to him. He is more willing to read, more willing to try, and far less frustrated.
I have seen how transformative the right instruction can be, and I highly recommend her to any family looking for effective, evidence-based support for a child struggling with reading, spelling, or dyslexia."
