A Multisensory Approach

A Multisensory Approach is founded on the principle that every child has the ability to succeed in reading, spelling, and writing. We believe that with the right guidance and support, every child can reach his/her full potential. 

Dyslexia is something that does not just "go away," but a child can learn strategies and skills to effectively cope with being dyslexic.

A Multisensory Approach is partnered to provide virtual and in-person dyslexia therapy and reading intervention. We take a personalized, one-on-one approach to learning. We work closely with each child to identify his/her strengths and weaknesses, and develop a customized learning plan that meets his/her unique needs. Our programs are based on the Orton-Gillingham method, which is the gold standard in reading instruction!

Our therapist, Constance Graves, is highly qualified in the field of dyslexia, with many years of experience helping students achieve reading success.

Constance holds a Bachelor's degree in Spanish, and a Master of Education degree. She is a certified bilingual teacher in the state of Texas. She has completed an intensive Multisensory Structured Language Education program, which included 700 hours of supervised practicum and 200 hours of instruction. Constance is also a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) through ALTA, and a Licensed Dyslexia Therapist (LDT). She has worked with dyslexic children for over 15,000 hours in the past 10 years.

She is formally-trained and has experience teaching various structured literacy curricula used for dyslexia remediation:

Outside of A Multisensory Approach, Constance is a dyslexia therapist at a public school. She has two young boys who are not dyslexic, but they are neurodivergent. She takes pride in being able to identify with parents who have children with learning differences.

With extensive knowledge and experience, Constance is passionate about reading and all things dyslexia, and is committed to helping children reach their goals!
