DARLENE A.T. DEVEAU
Lake Suzy,FL
Summary
My background is in Education, specifically Early Intervention and Special Needs. I'm a highly effective, highly trained, FL state licensed and certified Reading teacher, dedicated to ESE Interventions by day and a sought-after Orton-Gillingham tutor, in person and online nationwide in my own tutoring business.
I'm happy to provide screenings and assessments, share results, develop and write plans, implement interventions to bridge gaps for students, partner with teachers, admin and parents to support students and change lives through literacy development. I believe everyone has the right to literacy.
I'm also versatile and creative, constantly reading, learning, listening to podcasts, participating in professional book studies and applying the current research into my repertoire of best practices. I love to mentor college students, create new programs, create helpful trainings for others, and share information and resources. I'm passionate about strengthening language in young children and intervening as early as possible in order to prevent Dyslexia.
