    The Toland Family
  • It is critical to obtain an accurate diagnosis of dyslexia and Brenda Peters is an incredibly talented diagnostician! We are so impressed with the comprehensive evaluation and detailed report for our son.  After evaluating our son, Mrs. Peters met with us to carefully explain the results.  It was clearly evident that Mrs. Peters possesses a wealth of knowledge and practical experience which helped us to fully understand and advocate for our son’s educational needs.  Our family is tremendously grateful for her compassion, invaluable insights, recommendations, time, and support! 

    The Blanchard Family
  • As a parent, I know the feeling of helplessness when your child struggles with reading. But when we met Brenda Peters, everything changed. Brenda evaluated our child and provided a diagnosis and undeniable proof of dyslexia to the school, pointing us towards the necessary support. Brenda did more than just help my child - she transformed our entire family's educational journey. Her blend of empathy, expertise, and knowledge is remarkable. For us our journey with Brenda started with a game-changing free 15-minute consultation. I urge you, as a fellow parent, to seize this opportunity. It could be the first step in reshaping your child's future and securing the support your family needs.

    The Conrad Family
  • My son started receiving tutoring using the Orton Gillingham approach in 2020, the summer after his second-grade year, when we felt like we could do more to help him with his reading and writing. At that time, he was struggling with reading and spelling and we had difficulty understanding his writing. My son is now going into 6th grade and still receives one hour of online tutoring twice a week. Tutoring online fits in well with our busy schedule and allows my son to continue to participate in sports and activities with his friends. His teachers tell us that he often relates what he has learned in tutoring to what he is doing in school. We have seen huge improvements in his reading, spelling, and writing and I am often impressed at some of the things I hear him working on during his sessions. We highly recommend this approach!

    The Bemis Family
  • We feel so fortunate to have connected with Brenda Peters.  We needed an updated assessment for our daughter to support her need for continued accommodations going into high school. The process has been both informative and empowering.  From the outset, I appreciated Brenda’s clear communication about what to expect at each stage. She was warm, humorous, and approachable with our daughter on the day of testing.  Finally, I was so impressed with how much we learned during the feedback session about our daughter’s strengths and challenges and how to best support her. Brenda was able to break down complicated information about literacy and executive function skills and apply them to our daughter's unique profile in a way that was more accessible. We are now armed with a comprehensive, data-driven report with a clear diagnosis and concrete recommendations for a more robust 504 plan. I could not recommend Brenda more highly.
