The North Start Program

Supporting your child with a learning disability doesn’t have to be something you do alone. “The North Start Program” consists of six one-on-one sessions designed to work closely with me so that your child has a customized learning plan that actually works.

In this program, I conduct an assessment of your child’s school information and experience to understand what they need.

The program includes:

You get answers to questions such as:
