📚 Frequently Asked Questions

Blossoming Skills Reading Therapy

1. What is reading therapy, and how is it different from tutoring?

Reading therapy goes beyond tutoring by identifying the root cause of reading difficulties and using evidence-based strategies to build foundational skills. While tutoring often focuses on homework help or test prep, reading therapy addresses the underlying processing gaps that make reading hard in the first place.

2. Who do you work with?

We work with students of all ages—including children, teens, and adults—who struggle with reading and writing. This includes students with dyslexia, learning disabilities, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and those who simply need extra support to catch up.

3. What ages or grade levels do you serve?

We support learners from early elementary through adulthood. Whether your child is just beginning to read or an older student who never got the right support, we create personalized plans to meet each individual where they are.

4. How do you determine what my child needs?

We begin with targeted assessments that identify your child’s strengths, challenges, and skill gaps. Based on those results, we create a customized intervention plan focused on their specific needs and learning profile.

5. What results can we expect?

Our students typically make faster progress than those in traditional programs because we use methods aligned with how the brain naturally learns language. Many students gain one or more grade levels of growth in just 12 to 36 weeks of consistent intervention.

6. How long will my child need therapy?

Each child is unique, but most of our students show significant progress within 3 to 6 months. Some continue longer to strengthen advanced skills or maintain gains. We track growth closely and communicate openly about progress.

7. Do you offer online or in-person sessions?

We offer flexible options, including online 1:1 sessions, in-person therapy (where available), and parent coaching to support learning at home. All options use the same effective strategies and personalized approach.

8. Will I need to work with my child outside of sessions?

Yes. Parental involvement is a key factor in student success. We’ll coach you with simple, effective strategies you can implement at home in just a few minutes a day to reinforce what your child is learning.

9. What kind of training or background do you have?

Our founder is a certified special education teacher with over 10 years of experience in public schools, as well as personal experience homeschooling children with disabilities. In addition, she is trained in multiple methodologies and programs for reading and writing targeted for students with disabilities.

10. How do we get started?

Start by contacting us and then completing a questionnaire. Once submitted, we’ll contact you to schedule a consultation, review your child’s needs, and create a personalized plan to move forward.
