Finding licensed tutors for struggling readers without long waiting lists

Parents of children with reading difficulties (dyslexia, speech delays) need specialized tutors trained in structured literacy or Orton-Gillingham methods, but face 3-6 month waitlists from school districts and few certified private tutors. General tutoring platforms don't filter for specialized certification, and parents can't verify if tutors have real dyslexia training.
