"I have been a classroom teacher, learning disabilities specialist, teacher trainer, adjunct faculty for Framingham State College Graduate Overseas Program and am the Director of Special Education Services- a diagnostic and treatment center in Rome, Italy. I have developed instructional programs for the treatment of dyslexia in English, Italian and Portuguese and am the author of several published programs for the remediation of dyslexia and the early identification of learning disabilities. I have dedicated most of my adult life to helping the children - and some adults- and in training teachers to become successful in overcoming dyslexia."
