ABOUT VERONICA
I am Veronica Karwoski, the owner of Growth Education Therapy. I am an educational therapist who has been working with children, teens, and young adults in the Atlanta area for the past 10 years. I have provided more than 6,000 hours of specially designed and personalized remediation to students with learning challenges including, but not limited to dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, autism, and dyscalculia. I use both my experience as a special education teacher, IEP case manager, and local educational agency representative to help families navigate their child's educational journey.
My goal is for every student I work with to truly love something about school. I love to help students unlock their unique gifts and share them with the world. My goal for every family I work with is to be able to share moments of joy, exploration, and pride while on their educational journey.
I strive to provide the highest quality service to students and their families. I do so my completing and analyzing my own diagnostic measures, carefully reviewing all evaluations, and interviewing students and their parents. I use my extensive training and experience to provide remediation that is targeted, effective, and compassionate.
