We have over 95% success rate for teaching children to learn to read using an Orton-Gillingham based simultaneous multi-sensory approach. Working memory, short-term memory, and visual/auditory memory are addressed with cognitive therapy. For students with attention issues we use both cognitive therapy, listening exercises to strengthen that skill, and executive functioning instruction for the organizational areas. Central Auditory Processing disorder is corrected using cognitive therapy as well as receptive language processing skills. Grades SK, 1, and 2 use a Touch Math system that is multi-sensory giving stronger memory of the facts. For grades 2- 8 a math program called Jump written by Toronto's John Mighton, professor and author of The Myth of Inability has worked for students struggling with math concepts and mechanics. Our work is more than a job; it is a passion.
