About Marci

Marci Hannon is a dedicated expert in the field of neurodiverse and complex learners, with a strong focus on dyslexia and the Science of Reading. She is a passionate educator who has experience teaching a variety of subjects and guiding children of all ages and with an array of abilities. Marci has over 18 years of experience as a classroom leader and interventionist in small, special education schools that provide a unique educational environment for children with multiple learning differences. She works closely with speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, and teaching assistants to integrate therapeutic support within the academic curriculum.

In 2004, Marci set out on a journey to create a meaningful difference in the lives of people with disabilities. She obtained her dual Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education from Syracuse University. Her most recent role was at The Wolf School in East Providence, Rhode Island, where she embraced the unique opportunity to implement The Immersion Model©—a specialized approach that emphasizes three key areas of learning: language processing and production, sensory regulation, and effective communication in social contexts. This model also integrates essential skills such as executive functioning, self-advocacy, sensory integration, and social-emotional development, alongside hands-on experiential learning. She applies this knowledge and expertise to take a holistic view of each child, crafting a personalized trajectory that explores all avenues for a successful education. 

Marci is now a trained and certified Levy Educational Advocate. She is a member of the Orton-Gillingham Academy and the International Dyslexia Association. She has attended training in Literacy for All, Reading with TLC, Lively Letters, Lindamood Bell, Michelle Garcia Winner’s Social Thinking, Zones of Regulation, Brain Gym, Sarah Ward, and Conscious Discipline. She has been awarded two teacher’s excellence awards by the Wolf School and the Knight’s Children’s Center. Marci continues her mission to provide successful and individualized learning environments for diverse learners, create comprehensive plans that cater to the unique needs of each student, and ensure that all aspects of a student's education are taken into consideration.
