A successful life for your child starts here.
"Dr. Waller unlocks the super powers within her students using their own creativity to make their learning soar."
—Patty Jenkins, writer/director, Wonder Woman
Hi! I am Vicki Waller, and I am so happy you are here! For over 40 years, I have been a reading specialist and educational therapist. I help children ages 5-11 who have trouble reading and writing, can't sit still in class, don't feel like they can participate—children whom teachers have all but given up on.
These students have wound up matriculating to U.S.C., U.C.L.A., Berkeley, University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Yale, Brown, and Washington University. They have pursued their passions and have become actors in T.V. series, forestry experts, stylists in Hollywood dressing movie stars, and one student–who loved directing claymation videos with me–just received an Emmy for editing in Hollywood.
Every child can succeed in school and life, but some children need more help than others. I am here to help.
"I've seen many educational therapists in my 56 years of teaching and school administration and without a doubt Dr. Waller is the most inventive and successful therapist I have known.”
—Joan Martin, director emerita, Crossroads Elementary School, Santa Monica
Set Up a Session
Do you have a gut feeling about your child? Are you wondering about testing, medication, gathering a team, your child’s potential for reading, writing and executive functioning? We can demystify the process together. Set up a session to work together remotely or in my home in Los Angeles.
“Dr. Waller has worked closely with my son for the past few years. Not only has he improved in reading skills and fluency, but most importantly his level of confidence has surged! He actually looks forward to his time with Dr. Waller. Dr. Waller connects with each child and has a deep understanding of the child, not only on an academic level but also on an emotional one. She is more like a mentor who gives help and guidance as opposed to an instructor who dictates to him. I strongly feel it is this connection and bond that motivates my son to improve his reading skills and spend the extra time studying with Dr. Waller.”
