Ashley Rivello

Hello and thank you for visiting Dyslexic Einstein! My name is Ashley Rivello and I currently work as a Reading Specialist and a Special Education Law Advocate with Palm Beach Education Solutions, located in Palm Beach County, FL. I graduated summa cum laude from Nova Southeastern University's Shepard Broad College of Law earning a Master's of Science in Education Law along with two degree concentrations in Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Law and Advocacy Law. I am currently attending the University of Florida where I am working on a Master's Certification in Dyslexia relating to the areas of literacy development, language, dyslexia and the brain, interventions, and assessments. 

In 2012, I became a certified teacher and received my Florida Professional Teaching Certification (FLDOE License #1147308). I have worked in the Palm Beach County School District for many years, teaching all subject areas, in both private and public schools, including our local charter schools. Over the years of teaching students with various learning disabilities, I have seen the struggles first hand that each child faces inside the classroom, from the limited support and resources, to the lack of knowledge and training provided to our teachers. 

​

Did you know 1 out of every 5 students has a language-based learning disability? Having a dyslexic child of my own, whose learning difference went misdiagnosed for many years, brought out the passion for wanting to help students with special needs. It is my goal to spread awareness about dyslexia and to offer support to other families like ours.

Students in the Barton Reading & Spelling System are taught how to read, write, and spell, with intensive remediation, using a multi-sensory approach. This type of individualized instruction is not offered in the public school setting or with most private tutors. Visit the FAQ page to learn more about this program.

Please contact me if I can be of help to you and your family. And always remember... smile, shine, and take it one day at a time!
