TUTORING

Reading and writing services for emergent and struggling readers.

Gold standard Intervention for Reading and Writing
We offer all of the best reading and writing curriculums available. All of our tutors are thoroughly trained in the most effective interventions available for reading and writing. Unique to other service providers, our school-based therapists, are also available to further personalize your child’s lessons to meet their specific learning styles and needs. Some programs we offer include but are not limited to; Orton Gillingham, Barton Reading and Spelling, Linda Mood Bell, Handwriting without Tears, Size Matters and Movement ABC’s. Looking for a program not listed, give us a call we will be happy to discuss and see if we can meet your needs.

Child-Centered Instruction
Using our battery of therapy grade assessments we get to the root of every child’s reading and writing difficulty and then choose the program and strategies that best meet their needs. Using our child centered approach you will watch your child build confidence while making progress as we focus on their strengths and support their weaknesses. Screenings for impairments in reading, writing and math are also available upon request. Early identification of dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia are key to your child’s success.

Built on Collaboration and Community (Locally Owned)
We have been exclusively specializing in school-based services for nearly 10 years. Since starting 2013, our company has been visiting, supporting, and building relationships with a variety of private schools in the area. If your child attends a private school in the Pinellas County Area there is a good chance we have worked with them, as we are definitely willing too. Yes! We will work with your child at school to support their growth and help apply it in the school environment.

School, Home, Office, and Online
Yes! We will come to your child’s school, come to your home, or you are more than welcome to visit us at our offices in Saint Pete and Clearwater. We also offer online services. Making sure children get consistent intervention is our priority. We can work with you to meet your families specific needs for location.

Multiple Disciplines
Does your child receive therapy services as well? One of the benefits of Two Fish is that we are able to provide all of your services in one place. This gives you the benefits of convenience, but also allows us to adhere to best practise guidelines and work as a team, and put our professional minds together to ensure your child meets their goals and makes progress.

ACADEMIC SERVICES

Our exceptional and unique academic services are truly designed to meet your child’s specific needs. We pride ourselves in taking a whole brain approach to education where we focus on your whole child and provide interventions to meet their specific strengths and weaknesses.

At Two Fish Therapy we offer one of a kind specialized assessment and treatment of your child’s neurodevelopmental abilities AND/OR academic abilities (reading, writing, and math). This two-tiered approach allows us to identify and target essential components needed for their school success.

Not sure if your child needs services? We are a great place to start if your child does not have any diagnosis, but you are worried because they are struggling academically. In this case, we can screen and evaluate your child for indicators of a variety of learning disabilities including dyslexia, dysgraphia, auditory processing disorder, visual processing disorders, and other developmental delays.  Early intervention is proven to be the key to success.

If they have already been evaluated and diagnosed, we can review their prior assessment and tailor future tutoring to meet their unique academic needs.

Academic Testing:
We can screen and/or evaluate your child for delays or impairments in academic skills that are consistent with specific learning disabilities including, Dyscalculia (math), Dysgraphia (writing) and/or Dyslexia (reading).

Neurodevelopmental Testing:
In addition to academic testing, we also test for strength and delays in any of these developmental areas:

  • Primitive reflexes
  • Sensory processing skills (our abilities to control our responses to sensory input) Motor skills (sensory, fine, eye-hand coordination, and gross)
  • Ocular motor skills (our ability to coordinate and control eye movement for functional use – reading, writing, math)
  • Visual processing (for instance perception how we interpret what we see which is different from acuity which assesses how clearly we see) and memory
  • Auditory processing skills (including discrimination and Phonological (how we process sounds) processing skills
  • Executive functioning skills (our ability to control higher order thinking including controlling impulses, planning, following directions, etc.)

Tutoring Intervention Plans:
Our comprehensive evaluation gets to the root of your child’s academic difficulties enabling us to make specific learning plans to help them meet their fullest academic potential.

Scholarship and Insurances:
We accepted a variety of health care insurances as well as state school scholarships. We are Family Empowerment (previously known as Gardiner) Providers!

SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY

School Based Speech-language pathology improves the ability for children to communicate functionally and effectively, both verbally and non-verbally. Speech-language pathologists work to improve the child’s ability to understand and use language to express their thoughts, feelings and needs. Speech-Language Pathologists address articulation difficulties, oral motor, and social communication difficulties.

School Based Speech-Language Pathology can work to develop these areas in a child:

• Receptive language
• Expressive language
• Articulation, voice, fluency
• Verbal apraxia
• Stuttering disorders
• Alternative means of communication
• Improper social use of language
• Language based reading disorders
• Augmentative communication training
• Recommendation of non-verbal communication devices

EDUCATIONAL SPECIALISTS

Educational Specialists work in collaboration with therapists and teachers to address goals identified through Academic Achievement and therapeutic testing. Specialists can target reading, writing and math using child-centered recommendations and intervention strategies determined by the multidisciplinary team, to meet he child’s specific needs.

To address reading and spelling needs, we offer both Orton-Gillingham, and Barton Reading and Spelling services. As a child- centered multi-disciplinary team, we appreciate that all children are unique and that not all children benefit from these program as a whole (“box” programs) and need more specialized services, therefore we can offer both to these programs, and other strategies in our individualized plans, to meet your child’s specific learning needs, based on evidence.
