Ms. Vidya is a new, part-time tutor for Vertical Skills Academy. As a parent of a child with ADHD and dyslexia, she understands the heartache of watching children struggle. In 2021, her son attended the Every Child Reading summer camp, which proved to be a true game changer for him. The impact of that five-week experience was invaluable. She quickly became involved with the program while also working as a special education paraprofessional in the Cherry Creek School District, where she was trained in and implemented the Orton-Gillingham approach in both classroom and small group settings. Over the past year, she has been working as a private Orton-Gillingham tutor, and she now looks forward to supporting and teaching children at VSA.
