Tutoring

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

Certified tutors will provide instruction at a child’s school, within the home, or at a Miriam Center location. Daytime, after school and evening hours are available.

Advocacy
When parents need someone to help with Individual Education Plans (IEPs), 504 plans, and other types of school accommodations, the Learning Center’s school psychologists/examiners can provide  Educational Consultation.  These professionals help parents learn advocacy skills and how to navigate the public or private school system.  They can accompany parents to school meetings to ensure each child receives appropriate support services.  It’s always reassuring to have experienced staff helping your child get on the right educational path.

Curriculum Based Instruction

Curriculum Based Instruction helps students learn a specific curriculum through instruction that would naturally be presented by a teacher. It also may involve providing and grading homework, giving tests, and assigning grades. This entails extensive preparation to ensure the curriculum is individualized and that your child is challenged.

  •  Instruction with a certified content, special education or reading certified teacher– One hour minimum required
  •  Individualized curriculum design
  •  Coordination with professionals and parents working with the child
  •  Homework preparation, assignment, and scoring
  • Grade recording
