Tracy is an extraordinary orton gillingham tutor. She is quite gifted with older students, having found the perfect balance of respect, humor, and no nonsense feedback. This has kept my son engaged. I am so grateful to her.

My kiddo gained so many skills in reading working with Tracy! After a rough couple of years at a sub-par school, they started 3rd grade at a new school missing some key foundational lessons and concepts which was holding them back from catching up with peers and reaching grade-level reading. Tracy worked so patiently, helping to build the strong foundation they needed. We now have a reader!

Tracy made the virtual learning process effortless. As a structured Orton-Gillingham tutor, my high-school-age son has built confidence. He is reading more fluently and with ease allowing him the ability to comprehend what he has read. I recommend her to anyone looking for an Orton Gillingham tutor to ensure their child learns to read.

Finding the Right Dyslexia Help: A Parent’s Guide to Irlen Syndrome, Dyslexia Glasses and Synesthesia.
Learn to spot co-occurring conditions with dyslexia like Irlen Syndrome.
Dyslexia is not Irlen Syndrome, but they sometimes get mixed up. In this episode, Tracy Young and her daughter Alex dive deep into Irlen Syndrome and other hidden hurdles that often tag along with dyslexia to help you find the right dyslexia help for your family. They share a roadmap to help individuals with Irlen Syndrome find relief and build reading stamina with what is sometimes called dyslexia glasses.
It is so easy to feel overwhelmed but often, what we see as disorganization or laziness is actually a brain-based processing difference. Tracy and Alex share their own ”Dynamic Duo” (and sometimes dysfunctional) journey through the world of co-morbidities, those extra symptoms like dysgraphia or light sensitivity that exist alongside dyslexia. From the magic of tinted lenses (dyslexia glasses) to the surprise of seeing numbers in color, this conversation turns clinical terms into practical aha! moments.
After listening:
- Discover why Irlen Syndrome affects roughly 30% of dyslexics and how specific colored overlays can reduce moving letters so your child can read for longer than ten minutes.
- Decode Dysgraphia: Learn why holding a pencil weird or obsessing over perfect handwriting might actually be a sign of a deeper struggle with putting thoughts to paper.
- Recognize Synesthesia: Find out if your child is part of the group that associates words or numbers with specific colors, and how that ”quirk” can actually be a memory superpower.
