"We initially had reservations about virtual language therapy, but have found it to be transformational for our seven-year-old son who is dyslexic and also has ADHD. During his virtual therapy sessions, he is less distracted, more focused, and is making more progress than he was previously in his in-person sessions. He quickly adapted to the technology and can use it independently, which has boosted his confidence. Discovering the effectiveness of virtual therapy has been the biggest silver lining during these otherwise challenging times. We couldn't be more thrilled with the results!" (parent of current ASDEC student)

I appreciated Joy sharing her obvious expertise teaching grammar and working with students with dyslexia. I initially thought the workshop was going to be a bit dry (and I like grammar) but Joy was informative and entertaining. She shared so many great ideas and resources - it exceeded my expectations! So often, I leave workshops with only vague ideas of implementation, but with Joy’s course, I already have grammar game plan in place for my students. (workshop participant)
