About Me
Sharon Lawless holds an Ed.D. with a specialization in Learning Disabilities. Her goal in working with students is to meet the needs of each student she encounters. She wants each student to develop in such a way that he/she feels good about his/her abilities and will aim for long-term success. In the meantime, remediation should always be done in a way that provides an incentive and doesn’t humiliate the child. How reading is taught can dramatically affect the student’s feelings of self-esteem. Dr. Lawless provides a supportive, nurturing, scientific, research-supported approach to reading remediation.
Sharon Lawless is a certified Montessori Teacher where an emphasis is placed on an individualized approach with each child; a student’s strengths are used to improve his/her weaker areas of achievement. Montessori Training also emphasizes the use of all the senses in learning. This is an important aspect to Sharon Lawless’ approach to teaching students with dyslexia; she uses a multi-sensory approach using all the senses in combination.
Dr. Lawless holds a M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education and knows that the value of the proper intervention increases when the intervention is made as soon as possible with a dyslexic student.
