Meet our Reading Specialists

Danielle Pettifor, SLDS - Executive Director

I love helping children transform from struggling readers to confident, skilled learners! Using the Orton-Gillingham approach, I create personalized plans tailored to your child. My interactive online sessions combine auditory and visual activities, animations, videos, tools, and games to make learning engaging, fun, and confidence-boosting. Since 2018, I've been providing private online dyslexia therapy, and working with kids is the best part of my day!

But there are so many children in need, and I can't help everyone personally. That's why I created Lexify™, an online course designed to make structured literacy therapy effective and affordable for every child.

If your child is struggling with reading and spelling, don’t wait to start intervention. Skilled reading opens doors in every aspect of life, and the progress and confidence they can achieve are incredible!

Jinji Donato, SLDS

Hi, I am Jinji! As a Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist, my goal is to empower students with the concepts and strategies they need to become skilled readers. I am committed to helping all students access the joys of literacy. While every student is unique, with intensive and customized structured literacy practice, your child will make progress. 

In my free time, I enjoy visiting new parks, taking trips to the library, and spending time in nature with my husband and our two-year-old daughter. I look forward to working with your family!

Kayce McDade, M.Ed.

Hello! My name is Kayce (Kay-see) McDade and I have been an educator for 14 years! I have previously taught PreK, Kindergarten, and First Grade. I am currently a dyslexia teacher at an elementary school in Texas. I have been a dyslexia teacher for the past two years. I absolutely love teaching students with dyslexia and I have truly found my sweet spot! 

My husband and I have two sons that are 17 and 10. They keep us busy with their frequent basketball tournaments and extracurricular activities. When I am not in a basketball gym, I usually enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, and a little shopping! 🙂 

I look forward to meeting and working with your child!
