Virtual sessions

The same intervention, online.

For families outside the Triangle, virtual sessions follow the same structure, use the same materials, and get the same attention as meeting in person. The screen is how we meet.

A child's hand writing letter forms in a notebook with a pencil during a virtual session, a sound-card strip beside it and an open laptop at the edge of the table.

Your child sits with real materials in hand while we work together on a shared screen. Part of each session is hands-on, part is on screen, the same blend I use in person.

In your child’s hands
Letter tiles, cards, and readers I send to your home, so the work stays physical and multisensory.
On the shared screen
We read, build words, and practice together in real time, with me guiding each step as I would across a table.

Virtual sessions include syllable cards, games, and a whiteboard, with Elizabeth on camera the whole time.
What stays the same
The Sounds-in-Syllables curriculum, the pacing, the one-to-one focus, and the progress tracking.
What’s different
Materials arrive by mail instead of from my bag, and we meet through a screen rather than across a table.
On your end
A laptop or tablet with a webcam (built in or separate), a steady connection, and a quiet spot. I handle the rest.
Scheduling
Three sessions per week, booked at times that fit your family, in your time zone.

Questions about online sessions.

Does online intervention actually work?

The method is the same as in person, delivered live, and the explicit teaching, the pacing and the one-to-one attention carry over. Whether it suits your child is something we can judge in the first weeks, and you will hear it from me early if it isn’t.

What do we need for virtual sessions?

A computer or tablet with a camera, a steady internet connection, and a quiet space. Sessions are held over Google Meet.

Is virtual different from in person?

What changes is the room, not the teaching. The structure, the pacing and the one-to-one attention carry over. If your child turns out to need to be in the same room, I’ll tell you.

Can younger children manage online sessions?

It depends on the child. A calm setup helps, and sessions adjust to your child’s attention and comfort.

Not sure whether online will work for your child?

A consult is the surest way to find out. We talk through how your child learns, what a session would look like on their screen, and whether online suits them before anyone commits.

In the Triangle? I also work in person.
