What if school felt like home—and results came with relief?

At Virtual Milestone Academy, I don’t guess. I solve with science, heart, and home-based care that works.

Hi, I’m Megan Cawlfield—speech-language pathologist, dyslexia therapist, and mom.

For over twenty years, I’ve worked with families desperate for answers. Their kids were bright but struggling, and their schools said, “Wait and see” or “We’re doing our best.”

I started Virtual Milestone Academy because that wasn’t good enough. I believe every child deserves to read, to be understood, and to thrive—without shame.

  • Dyslexia intervention that works

  • Speech-language support grounded in science

  • IEP advocacy that gets results

  • Private, personalized sessions—virtual or in-home

Whether you’re a parent trying to make sense of evaluations or a donor who wants to change what education looks like in Northwest Arkansas, you're in the right place.

This is for the exhausted parent. The child who’s falling behind. The educator or investor is ready to do more than hope for change; this is for the people who know: we can’t wait another year.

Thank you for caring. Thank you for believing.
Whether you’re a parent, partner, or advocate—you’re part of this story now.

With heart,

Why Concierge Dyslexia Support Is the Smartest Investment for Your Child:

1. Individualized Attention That Creates Lasting Change

Children with dyslexia process information differently. Their learning journeys cannot be effectively supported through standardized methods. The concierge model provides:

  • Learning experiences precisely calibrated to each child's neurocognitive profile

  • Uninterrupted one-on-one guidance free from classroom distractions

  • Systematic skill-building that follows the child's developmental readiness

  • Immediate feedback and adaptation based on moment-to-moment progress

This focused approach establishes essential neural pathways while developing the confidence necessary for independent learning.

2. Adaptable Support Integrated with Family Life

Traditional support systems often create additional complications rather than solutions for families navigating complex schedules, multiple residences, or frequent travel. A flexible support structure:

  • Adapts to family schedules without rigid constraints

  • Maintains consistency across locations through virtual delivery options

  • Provides continuity during transitions between homes or through travel periods

  • Respects and works within the family's established routines and priorities

This flexibility ensures that essential learning support enhances rather than disrupts family dynamics.

3. Expert Leadership and Comprehensive Oversight

At Virtual Milestone Academy, services are directed by Megan Cawlfield, MS CCC-SLP, C-SLDI—a nationally certified speech-language pathologist and dyslexia interventionist with extensive experience in neurodevelopmental approaches to literacy.

This expertise enables:

  • Implementation of structured literacy techniques based on cognitive science

  • Seamless coordination with educational professionals across settings

  • Translation of complex assessment data into practical strategies

  • Discreet management of educational planning and implementation

Each child's program is grounded in evidence-based methodologies and continuously refined through systematic progress monitoring.

4. Developing Foundations for Lifelong Achievement

Effective dyslexia intervention extends far beyond immediate academic gains. When children receive appropriately specialized support, they develop:

  • Metacognitive strategies that transfer across all learning domains

  • Self-awareness that allows them to leverage their unique cognitive strengths

  • Communication skills that enable clear expression of brilliant ideas

  • Self-advocacy abilities that serve them throughout educational and professional contexts

This comprehensive approach builds not only literacy skills but the executive functioning and self-regulation capacities essential for independent learning.

The Transformative Impact of Specialized Support

The right intervention approach represents more than educational assistance—it fundamentally alters a child's developmental trajectory. Children who receive appropriate specialized support develop the capacity to:

  • Approach complex material with strategic confidence

  • Express ideas through organized, coherent writing

  • Navigate academic challenges with resilience and problem-solving skills

  • Transform their distinctive cognitive profile into a source of strength

Through personalized, expert-led intervention, children with dyslexia can develop the skills, strategies, and confidence to achieve their full potential.
