School Notes
- Virtual Milestone Academy offers high-impact, individualized services for students who need more than traditional school support. We specialize in dyslexia evaluations, structured literacy therapy based on the Science of Reading, and parent advocacy that aligns with IDEA, Section 504, and Arkansas Act 1039. Our founder, Megan Cawlfield (MS, CCC-SLP, C-SLDI), provides diagnostic and therapeutic services rooted in research, legal compliance, and developmental science. Services are available to families both virtually and in-person, and VMA proudly accepts Education Freedom Account (EFA) funds via ClassWallet. VMA is not a traditional K–12 school; we are a boutique support model tailored to students with significant reading and learning differences who benefit from intensive, personalized instruction and parent guidance.
