Testimonials:

We are so grateful to have found Marla to help us navigate the challenging IEP process. She has helped us realize how much more could and should have been done to help identify our child’s educational gaps and learning difficulties. Thanks to her, we have been able to obtain thorough outside testing for our child to best support him. Marla is very knowledgeable, responsive and easy to work with. We highly recommend her educational consulting services!

Audrey Windsor is creative, patient, and skilled at teaching OG+! She keeps children engaged while encouraging their growth. We highly recommend her as an OG+ tutor!

Marla is the best!! She is extremely knowledgable about dyslexia, interventions, the IEP process and so much more. She was a huge asset to our fight to get a more appropriate intervention for our son. She also gives real advice and thinks about what is best for your kid. I am so thankful that we found her!

I was given Marla’s information while struggling to advocate for my daughter who shows strong signs of dyslexia. She has been a wealth of knowledge and instrumental in getting my daughter the services she needs! She is very responsive and has been so supportive to me!

Marla is an amazing Educational Consultant and has been a huge asset to our family as we navigated through the IEP process following my son’s recent dyslexia diagnosis. She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, detail-oriented and caring! Given her extensive Special Ed background both professionally and personally as a mom of children with different learning styles, she was able to give me excellent advice and guidance as to my son’s needs as we formed a partnership with the school while his IEP was formulated.

Mrs. Marla has done an over the top and beyond job for myself and my son. She has been very understanding and was able to help me when it came to things I didn’t understand.  Her personality and more are truly incredible. I recommended her to many friends who have children just like mine. I can’t stress it enough how much of a blessing it is to me to have met her and still to this day have her help and guidance.

I highly recommend Marla Migdal if you have a dyslexic child and need help navigating the IEP process in school. Over the past few years, she has been a dedicated advocate for my daughter, navigating the educational system with expertise. Her in-depth knowledge of necessary assessments and skillful advocacy secured crucial accommodations, allowing my child to begin thriving in school. I am so appreciative of her services. She would attend each meeting with us, putting me at ease through these stressful school meetings. She helps by interpreting the school’s findings and suggesting what is needed. Marla has always gone above and beyond to make sure my daughter’s needs are met and that we are supported and understand the process. Cannot say enough wonderful things about her, we feel lucky to have found her !!

Both of my sons have been receiving tutoring services through Migdal Consulting for close to 16 months.  When we started, my youngest son was not able to remember alphabet letters.  To tell you that he has made progress over the past 16 months, would be an understatement.  Getting him to the point of being able to read a book seemed so far out of reach.  Fast forward to today, he is capable of reading triple reads with his tutor, he can read decodable books with increased ease and has more confidence in his ability to write both in the classroom setting and during tutoring sessions.  He also has a diagnosis of ADHD, when we started he required multiple breaks and an adult to provide one on one support during tutoring (for redirection to tasks).  He is now independent in his ability to attend a half hour tutoring session, no longer requiring multiple rest breaks.

My oldest son had already been evaluated for an IEP and was receiving support within his school setting (for two years) prior to finding Migdal consulting.  We had also tried multiple rounds of vision therapy prior to reaching out for tutoring support.  Within the first few months of tutoring he jumped 20 points on his state testing in English language arts and his confidence grew in his ability to put thoughts on paper.  Recently, he has been volunteering to read out loud in class and he also played the role of Santa Claus, in the Elementary Christmas program, a part that required him to read lines in front of hundreds of people.  The 16 months of tutoring provided him with the support needed to strengthen his ability to read and write, but also has helped him to gain the confidence to fully embrace and partake in all aspects of his childhood.  I could never thank Marla and Chrissy enough!

I reached out to Marla after my daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia. I knew that trying to navigate the road would lie ahead for me or my daughter was not going to be easy. I knew that the school district would give me a hard time but I also knew that until they did what they needed to do, my daughter was going to need support. 

Marla and her team took much of the worry off my shoulders. She “attended” CST (Child Study Team) meetings with me to convey my thoughts and concerns without it being clouded by my emotions. I have referred her to 3 people already bc I truly believe she will be able to help them too. My daughter is THRIVING and loves her tutor Ms. Chrissy. I highly recommend Dyslexic911.com
