About us

We are here to help every child become a confident reader

Our mission is to empower neurodivergent learners

NeuroStars Phonics Factory is a nonprofit dedicated to advancing literacy equity for neurodivergent youth. Using the research-based Orton-Gillingham approach, we provide personalized, multisensory instruction that empowers children with learning differences like autism and dyslexia to succeed.

We support families, homeschool educators, and communities with workshops, resources, and partnerships that build confidence and skills for lifelong success. At NeuroStars Phonics Factory, we’re breaking barriers to create inclusive learning environments where every child can thrive.

Founder & CEO

I’m so glad you’ve found us. This organization was born from a deeply personal place — my incredible son, who is autistic and has taught me more about love, resilience, and learning than I could have imagined. As I watched him navigate the challenges of literacy in a world not always built for neurodivergent learners, I knew there had to be a better way.

That desire — to ensure children like my son have access to the tools, strategies, and support they need to thrive — is what led to the creation of NeuroStars Phonics Factory. We are here to support, celebrate, and empower youth with autism, dyslexia, and other learning differences through research-based, personalized instruction grounded in the Orton-Gillingham approach.

This is more than a mission — it’s a calling. Every child deserves the chance to unlock their potential and fall in love with reading. Thank you for being part of our journey.

Enrolling my child in this program was one of the best decisions we've made. The personalized approach, especially using the Orton-Gillingham method, has made a huge difference. My son, who is on the autism spectrum, is not only reading more confidently but is excited about learning.
