“My son, who is neurologically impaired, is taking a reading comprehension course with Sarah Coan. He has not engaged in reading for a few years, and I was not sure how well he would do. Sarah uses different reading strategies to help him understand the text. Sarah is friendly and patient. {She} adapts the lessons to his needs. She encourages him to ask questions if he is struggling with the text and encourages him to actively participate in the discussion of the text. He looks forward to these classes and enjoys working with Sarah. He is learning new words and is able, in his own words, to express his thoughts more clearly.”
