For Learners and Families
Learning Services
Life-Changing Learning For All Ages
We are a nonprofit learning center dedicated to helping children and adults reach their academic, social, and professional goals. With proven strategies that get results, we lead the way in individualized instruction, social learning programs, and educational evaluations.
Customized Tutoring and Instruction
Our services and interventions are designed to improve academic proficiency through expert instruction, personalized attention, and a strengths-based approach that achieves results. Our extraordinarily dedicated teachers work one-on-one with students, adults, and families, and collaborate with schools to build custom plans that fit each learner’s needs.
Learning Evaluations
Take the first step toward getting the help and support you or your child needs to move forward in school, work, and life. For anyone concerned about a learning, attentional, or emotional difficulty, we assess cognitive, linguistic, academic, and social/behavioral/attention skills.
Social Learning and Speech Therapy
Through direct teaching, coaching, and practice we help students and adults navigate social situations and develop and maintain positive relationships. Students will gain a better understanding of themselves, learn how to connect with others, manage their emotions, make responsible decisions, and more.
Additional Support
Social Thinking Groups
For anyone struggling with social skills, our Social Thinking Groups can help them understand the thinking behind their words and actions.
Speech Therapy
We provide comprehensive evaluations and individualized intervention for people with language, speech, and swallowing challenges.
Reading Readiness Check-Up
For parents curious about their child’s early reading skills, we offer a helpful check-up and expert advice for raising strong readers.
