Meet Elizabeth Hendrix
My Philosophy
Hi, my name is Elizabeth Hendrix and I am a Certified Academic Language Therapist.
If your child is having difficulty learning to read or has been diagnosed as dyslexic, the best thing you can do as a parent is to educate yourself and become the number one advocate for your child.
One in five children are dyslexic and learns to read in a different way. Most public and private schools do not have qualified dyslexic/reading teachers. 80% of children will learn to read whether they have a great or poor teacher.

As a Parent, You Must Be INFORMED
One in five children are dyslexic and learn to read in a different way. Most public and private schools do not have qualified dyslexic/reading teachers.
You, as a parent, must be informed and act quickly. The longer you wait, the harder it will be for the child to reach their full potential. Retaining a child is not the answer. If a child is retained because they didn’t “get it” the first time, they won’t “get it” the second time with the same exact instruction.
If your child is getting reading help, ask lots of questions and take notes. Observe your child’s reading class. Ask for qualifications of the reading specialist, the general education teacher and/or special education teacher. A teacher who has only had a week or two of instruction is not a Highly Qualified Reading Specialist. A master’s degree is not enough.
Remember you are your child’s best advocate. A few excellent sites on the internet to begin with are National Reading Panel, International Dyslexia Association, and Academic Language Therapist Association.
