We teach kids how to
learn with confidence

We help our students overcome Dyslexia, mathematics, language comprehension and writing difficulties.

Dyslexia

Dyslexia affects 20% of the population, or 1 in 5 students. A child can have average or above average intelligence but still struggle to read. The primary reason for reading and spelling difficulties is weak phonological awareness. It represents 80 - 90% of all students with learning disabilities, and is the most common of all neuro-cognitive disorders.

Mathematics

While there is a social myth that it is okay to have poor math skills, the reality is that a math disability can be seriously handicapping in adult life. In today’s world, mathematical knowledge, thinking and problem solving ability are no less important than reading ability.

Writing

Being able to write well is a skill directly connected to one’s ability to comprehend and verbalize information. Since most information must be written in school, it is important for individuals to be able to articulate what they know in written form in an organized, descriptive way.

Comprehension

One of the biggest problems for children and adults with weak comprehension skills is that they do not visualize the information they read or hear. They may create images only for parts of what they’ve read or heard, making recall of the information very difficult. Because of this, it will be difficult for them to process and analyze the information, determine the main idea, make conclusions and predictions, recall details and form opinions of their own. They will have gaps of information and will likely also struggle with writing and verbal communication.

Language

Language deficits can further impact an individual’s ability to understand what they read or hear.  Therapy sessions focused on increasing vocabulary, understanding of synonyms and antonyms, ability to categorize concepts, and grasping the meaning of idiomatic expressions boosts comprehension and deepens a person’s knowledge to be able to advance their performance in academics, work situations, and social settings.

The earlier a child begins to receive treatment the greater the gains.

When traditional approaches in the classroom and/or special education have not been enough, students are in need of more specialized, intensive treatment. The process begins with an evaluation at the Reading Therapy Center, from which we can determine if intensive therapy is needed.

Testimonials

My daughter did the program last summer and she “hated school.”  After she finished the summer, it was amazing to me the types of books she would get into.  I have even gone into her room in the mornings this summer, to find her book and a flashlight in her bed because she couldn’t sleep the night before so she decided to read.  Amazing staff and program!
- Tina (parent)

"I have this very distinct memory of sitting in our kitchen, cooking dinner, where my son was doing his homework...and he took everything and THREW it off the table. (And he's a mellow kid- very relaxed and groovy)...and he burst into tears and said, 'I'm an idiot. I don't know any of this- 3rd grade- I'm the stupidest kid in the class and I can't do this anymore."

- Ellen, (parent) sharing THAT moment: when she and her husband knew they needed to seek help for their son.

What Makes Reading Therapy Center Different?

Some people believe if you struggle to read, you will never learn to read successfully. We believe children and adults can overcome reading difficulties with our therapy programs. Our intensive strategies focus on improvement, rather than coping with the struggle. We help our students learn with confidence and pursue their dreams.
