About Us

We are educators who have worked with students in grades K-12. Through our work in public and charter schools, we have discovered that many bright students with learning disabilities were often not successful in school. Despite their best efforts, these students lacked the essential reading, math, and writing skills necessary to achieve their full potential.

Through research, classes, and training, we discovered that these students can achieve. The answer lies in proper assessment, research-backed academic interventions, and instructional intensity. In other words, delivering the right program for the student, at the proper level of intensity and using multi-sensory teaching approaches.

What Is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability. Dyslexia refers to a cluster of symptoms, which result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading. Students with dyslexia usually experience difficulties with other language skills such as spelling, writing, and pronouncing words. Dyslexia affects individuals throughout their lives; however, its impact can change at different stages in a person’s life.

Sea of Strengths has been a lifesaver for our daughter. We love the individualized attention the students receive with the small class sizes. The staff is wonderful at SOSA.
