Services for Students

Miriam Learning Center helps students excel through comprehensive, research-based interventions customized to each unique student.

Miriam Learning Center focuses on helping children be successful in their current educational placement. We work in partnership with parents and school personnel to make sure we address the most important areas for learning. Each child is unique and therefore, we tailor interventions to the individual needs of each child. Because we offer a wide variety of private evaluations and academic and therapeutic services for students, we are able to customize programming for each student based upon their unique situation. We offer services at the student’s school, area libraries, or at Miriam Learning Center. Daytime, after school and early evening hours are available by appointment. All services are private pay. Limited financial aid is available for testing and summer camp. Call us at 314-961-1500 to learn more.

Our Student Services

Miriam Learning Center offers a wide variety of support services that addresses the unique academic, social and emotional learning needs of each child. Getting treatment is easy. Children can receive multiple interventions at one convenient location and treatment goals are coordinated among therapists and tutors. Because Miriam offers comprehensive services, parents can pick which interventions are most important and how many weekly visits fit into their busy schedule and budget.

Tutoring

One size does not fit all. We customize teaching to accommodate a child’s learning style and strengths.

Miriam Learning Center has certified, special education teachers who provide individual tutoring to improve reading, math, written expression, and/or executive function skills for children who learn in non-traditional ways. The Learning Center’s teachers understand the special educational needs of children with ADHD, Autism, and/or a learning disability such as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Dysgraphia. Research-based Orton-Gillingham approach programs including SPIRE and Wilson, and other multi-sensory approaches to learning such as TouchMath and Step Up to Writing, are used to help students improve academic areas in which they are struggling.

Certified tutors provide instruction at the Learning Center, at area libraries or, with permission, at the child’s school. Daytime, after school and evening hours are available by appointment. Each tutoring session lasts 50 minutes. Depending upon the needs of the student, tutors usually meet with students one or two sessions per week.

Testing

Testing can answer many of the questions parents have about their child.

The Cornelsen Diagnostic Center is an integral part of the Learning Center that serves hundreds of children each year. It provides IQ and educational diagnostics, psychological assessments, Comprehensive Autism testing, and occupational, speech/language, and physical therapy evaluations for children ages 2 to 18. These assessments help diagnose learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism, speech/language delays, anxiety, depression and other conditions that may affect a student’s learning and functioning at home and school. Testing provides parents with a pathway that will help their child reach his or her potential. You may bring your child to testing at the Learning Center or, with permission, we can test at the child's school. Need-based financial assistance may be available for testing, just fill out a Financial Aid Application.

Therapies

One hour per week in therapy can make a huge difference in a child’s skill level.

Miriam Learning Center offers a variety of therapy services including music, speech, language, occupational, and physical therapy, designed to help children progress towards age-appropriate skills. We schedule therapies on the same day and at the same time each week for 35 or 50-minute sessions.

Our therapists individualize all goals to help work on each child’s unique needs. We offer services at the Learning Center or, with permission, at the child’s school. We are out of insurance network for all therapies and we do not bill insurance for services.

Counseling

A happy and well-adjusted child sets the stage for positive learning experiences.

Finding therapists who really understand ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities, and the mental health issues that sometimes accompany these conditions can be difficult. The Center treats hundreds of children each year who have social, emotional, and behavioral issues that influence home, school, and community life.

Miriam Learning Center provides individual and family counseling during daytime and evening hours. Our Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach is a research-based intervention that works well with many children. Some free, in-school counseling services are available through the St. Louis County Children’s Service Fund or St. Louis City Mental Health Board. Call 314-961-1500 for information about Miriam’s counseling services, or click the link below.

In-School Supports

There is no need to drive a child to multiple places for services. They can get interventions at school!

Certified, special education teachers, reading specialists, occupational therapists, speech/language pathologists, counselors, behavior aides, BCBAs and diagnosticians easily push into schools to support children who may need more assistance than what their school can provide.

Parents contract for services and we arrange schedules with the school’s educators to maximize a child’s learning potential. Depending upon the type of service, a minimum number of hours per visit may be required. Children do not need to have a disability to receive push-in services. Most independent, private, charter, and parochial schools allow Miriam staff to come into the school.

Call us at 314-961-1500 to learn more.

Summer Camps

A child can maintain skills during the summer through our specialty camps.

Miriam’s specialty camps are perfect for students entering grades K-12 who need a fun way to boost academic or social skills during the summer months.

Small groups, research-based programming, and experienced certified/licensed staff make for a winning combination. Children must benefit from our staff to student ratios, be independent with toileting and free from accidents, and may not require para-support in order to attend.

SUMMER CAMP INFORMATION
