About Us

Our founder Nancy Barnard’s goal has always been to educate the community on the needs of these students. In 2022, Nancy collected professionals in the area to form a group of area professionals such as neuropsychologists, Speech and Language Professionals, and dyslexia interventionists. The name E.R.I.N. is based on Nancy’s mother who started a tutoring business in the early 1980’s and which Nancy led starting in the 2000’s. Since 2000, Nancy has bonded with area professionals many of which are the originators of this organization.
