Welcome to Impact Educational Therapy. I’m Kendra and I am thrilled to be embarking on this new business journey. I am a special educator with 20 years experience teaching in schools and at home. I am passionate about the prevention of reading failure. Students struggle to read for a variety of reasons ranging from learning disabilities to misguided instruction. Although reading scores continue to plummet around the country, there is hope! 95% of students can learn to read with structured and systematic instruction based on the science of reading.
