Stephanie Steinshouer is an Educational Therapist and the Founder/Executive Director of Lokahi Connect, a Washington-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit advancing equitable literacy and language‑based learning. She specializes in dyslexia, dysgraphia, language‑based learning differences (LBLDs), ADHD, and autism (ASD).
Stephanie’s approach integrates Structured Word Inquiry (SWI), a meaning‑first analysis of words from graphemes to morphemes, with Integrative Neurodevelopmental Theory (INT) and Mediated Learning Experience (MLE). She designs interventions that are both evidence-informed and classroom-practical, pairing precise word study with cognitive load-aware routines and metacognitive scaffolds.
