About Me
Hello! My name is Candi Sellers.
I am a wife, educator, Academic Language Therapist-Qualified Instructor, Orton-Gillingham Accredited Training Fellow, parent of two wonderful children (one neurodivergent learner), and advocate for students of all ages. I am a NC licensed teacher and hold several certifications as a dyslexia specialist. My own training, education, and mentorship have allowed me to share what I can with you to support your work with your own students. My faith, family, and work are my passions. I hope that you are encouraged, inspired, and walk away from what you find here with something meaningful. Thank you for joining me!
