Dyslexia Therapist
Anna Griffin, M.Ed.
Teaching children to read, write, and spell with confidence is my passion. As the parent of a dyslexic child, I found my mission in helping others as the therapists at Illuminations helped me. I provide dyslexia therapy after school and during the summer for Illuminations.
