Today, I’m here with Stephanie Tsapakis to talk about her journey in education, particularly focusing on her work with LDExpert, a company dedicated to providing specialized tutoring for students with learning differences. We discuss the importance of qualified tutors, the certification process for intervention programs, and the current state of dyslexia intervention research. Stephanie emphasizes the significance of building relationships with students and adopting neurodivergent affirming practices in education. Additionally, we explore how LDExpert’s business practices are designed to support neurodivergent families, making the process of finding and scheduling tutoring services more accessible and user-friendly. We also delve into the metrics for tracking student progress, the length and frequency of treatment, and the costs associated with these services.
As usual, there’s a ton of great info to take away from this conversation, especially if you work with kids and have trouble finding qualified reading interventionists!
