NOLA Learning Support is a private educational therapy practice based in New Orleans, serving students from kindergarten through college. We provide individualized support in reading, written expression, and executive functioning, helping students with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences build skills, confidence, and independence. We offer both in-person and virtual sessions and work with families across the country.
Personalized Educational Therapy Services
Remediation
As a graduate-trained educational therapist, Kate provides targeted intervention for students with learning differences. Her work is grounded in the Science of Reading and incorporates research-based, multisensory approaches, including Orton-Gillingham. Through individualized instruction, she builds the foundational reading and writing skills students need for academic success—with or without a formal evaluation.
Assessments
At NOLA Learning Support, we understand that every student’s learning journey is unique. With graduate-level training in assessment, we develop individualized remediation plans, closely monitor progress, and build confidence in students from Kindergarten through 12th grade.
​
We partner with families and schools across both public and private settings to provide consistent, effective support. While we do not provide diagnoses, we offer formal dyslexia screenings and ongoing assessments to guide instruction and measure growth. Our work is grounded in supporting students with mild to moderate learning differences through targeted, evidence-based intervention.
Homework Aid
We provide homework support and executive function coaching to help students stay organized, manage their time, and approach assignments with confidence. Sessions focus on planning, breaking down tasks, prioritizing work, and developing effective study habits.
Our support is limited to reading and written expression; we do not provide instruction in math, science, or foreign languages. Our goal is to foster independence while helping students keep pace with academic demands.
