S.O.A.R. Tutoring and Advocacy

My experience with S.O.A.R. Tutoring and Advocacy was amazing. Melanie was the BEST advocate to handle my son’s annual IEP. She was by my side every step of the way- Through the emails all the way to the end of the meeting. I received everything my son deserved and it is because of her knowledge and passion in the IEP process that made it possible. She made a very stressful situation, easy all while getting my son everything he needed. I would highly recommend her!!!

I have been very pleased with the services offered by S.O.A.R. In just a few short months, my son has grown 100% or more in his reading. He is more confident now when he reads . He is using the skills learned to understand the meaning of new words. I can't say enough about this program. I would definitely recommend to any family with kids struggling with dyslexia or any other issues. I wished I would have discovered it sooner.

When we recognized a few disconnects in our daughter's progress at school - we felt lost, overwhelmed, and uncomfortable with the future. After a friend's recommendation - we talked with Mary Beth and Donna at SOAR. They assessed our daughter, offered us a game plan, provided us with one of the best Orton-Gillingham tutors in town (Coach Connie!!), and now our daughter is back on track to be a very successful 2nd grader! (Yes, we call our tutor a "Reading Coach"...after all, if you want to get better at soccer, you have a soccer coach; Want to be a better reader? You need a Reading Coach!)
Early intervention is key. Playing the "wait and see" game was not in our plan. The team at SOAR has helped us navigate the "IEP/504" world in public school and showed us how to advocate for our child.
We are so thrilled with her response to the intervention, we also have SOAR work with our older son on math and test-taking skills, and our youngest son, who is preparing for kindergarten. Yes, it is definitely an investment in time and resources, but hearing our daughter read her own birthday cards this year and realizing she could do it, makes it a sacrifice we will make over and over again.
