I am new to the board and feeling hopeful that you can help. I live in Middleburg, Florida and am trying to find a reputable LMB tutor for my 9 year old son. He was diagnosed with expressive/receptive language disorder and CAPD when he was 6 years old. We have gone through FFW and interactive metronome therapy through a couple of very qualified speech therapists. The speech therapist recommended V/V to help with his reading comprehension. So, this is where I am now—trying to locate someone. I am hoping to be able to attend the LMB conference in Orlando—but it isn’t until April. My son is doing well in Math, but I’m exhausted as I try to help him improve in vocabulary and reading comprehension. He can decode any word—can read the words, but a lot of the time cannot fully comprehend what he has just read.
Thanks so much for your help
