Wilson Level II Certified Dyslexia Therapist
About the founder
Lisa Duran Salomon, B.S., W.D.T.
Literacy Specialist · Wilson Certified Dyslexia Therapist · Lindamood-Bell trained
Lisa's path began at home. When her son, who has ASD, needed reading-comprehension support, she set out to find answers and discovered the Lindamood-Bell Visualizing and Verbalizing program. She was immediately hooked, and what began as a personal mission became a lifelong calling.
She believes every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy of reading — and watching a student go from frustration to confidence is what she shows up for every day. Her instruction is explicit, systematic, cumulative, and diagnostic — adjusted in real time so each learner is met exactly where they are.
