Owner & Founder, Board Certified Educational Therapist

Hi, I'm Caroline Towery, Founder of Adapted Learning Center. For over 15 years, I've worked as an Educational Therapist helping students and families navigate the ups and downs of learning differences like ADHD, dyslexia, and executive functioning challenges.

I started Adapted Learning Center because I believe no parent should feel alone in this journey. My passion is creating individualized learning plans that meet each student where they are — whether that means building reading and math skills, strengthening writing, or developing strategies for focus and organization.

At ALC, I work alongside a team of dedicated specialists who bring their own expertise and compassion to every session. Together, we support students from kindergarten through high school, and we partner closely with parents and schools to make sure every child has what they need to succeed.
