A consultation assessment that includes your occupational profile - client and family needs, values, environment, abilities, goals.
A tailored intervention plan to improve ability to perform daily activities (in school, work or safely at home) and reach goals.

Discovering My Dyslexia Superpowers was written to fill a gap in dyslexia literature. When looking for a children's book about dyslexia at their local library, author Megan Nicolas and her children found one that focused on "struggles" and difficulties. Her children said “We should write an encouraging book for kids about dyslexia.” So, they did!
Nicolas and her children want to educate others on the brilliant minds of dyslexics and encourage families to search for the key to unlock those minds.

Our family loves it! Great read! School libraries should all have this book as well as families working through a Dyslexia diagnosis.”
