Services

  • Galileo Growthโ€™s literacy intervention is grounded in the Science of Reading and delivered through Orton-Gillingham and LETRS-certified instruction. We work across the auditory, visual, sensory, and kinesthetic systems to rebuild the foundational connection between sounds, letters, and words. Every student receives a custom scope and sequence designed around their unique learning profile, current skill level, and rate of progress. Our approach does not rely on repetition drills or one-size worksheets. It is brain-based, evidence-backed, and built for measurable results. The outcome: students who can decode with confidence, write with fluency, and carry a genuine relationship with reading into every stage of their education.

  • Our math intervention moves well beyond memorization. We focus on building true conceptual understanding, number sense, and problem-solving agility through structured, evidence-based instruction calibrated to each learnerโ€™s profile. By connecting visual, auditory, and hands-on strategies, we make abstract reasoning concrete and accessible. Lessons are designed to show students how mathematical thinking applies to the world around them, reinforcing both competence and curiosity. The result is a learner who approaches quantitative challenges with persistence rather than avoidance.

  • Whether your child has a formal IEP, an Individualized Learning Plan, or goals we develop collaboratively through assessment and record review, Galileo Growth provides structured, accountable support to drive meaningful progress. Our scope spans academic skill-building, executive functioning, and social-emotional development. We help students define clear objectives, build actionable plans, monitor milestones, and take ownership of their growth. Just as importantly, we ensure families understand every element of the IEP process. Navigating special education services should not require a law degree. We provide comprehensive plan review, independent assessment, and expert consultation so that your childโ€™s educational program genuinely reflects their needs and entitlements.

  • The education system was not designed to be intuitive for families. Galileo Growth serves as your strategic partner in navigating it with clarity and confidence. We interpret and review documents, attend meetings, observe classroom environments, and facilitate productive communication between home and school. Our consultation practice is built on the principle that every student deserves a plan that serves their actual needs and includes every service and accommodation they are entitled to receive. When the conversation gets complex, we bring both the expertise and the composure to keep it focused on what matters: your childโ€™s trajectory.

Over more than a decade of direct work with students and families, she has developed deep expertise in literacy intervention, IEP development and advocacy, and the full spectrum of learning differences that impact academic performance. She founded Galileo Growth after recognizing that families consistently needed more rigorous support and more informed advocacy than the school system alone could provide. Her practice combines the precision of clinical assessment with the empathy of someone who has spent thousands of hours in the room with struggling learners, watching them find their footing.
