learning models obsolete.

Our powerful and unique Cyclical-Learning
Model allows the average client with a learning
difficulty (reading or AD/HD) to triple
their rate of reading growth (over special ed and
traditional learning center programs) and retain fluency for years
after graduating our program. What
is the Cyclical-Learning Model?

5 Reasons
to get your child tested for
Dyslexia / ADHD:
| #1 |
CT schools rarely identify
or inform parents about dyslexia, even though
Connecticut's own state government recognizes that dyslexia is the cause of over 80%
of reading difficulties.

By knowing
the cause of your child's difficulties you can get them the
help they truly need. Only programs that are designed for
children with Dyslexia and implemented
consistently and professionally
have
been shown to produce significant and lasting gains for
struggling readers.

| #3 |
Special Ed
and Learning Center reading programs for children with
learning disabilities (Dyslexia/ADD) are
overwhelmingly ineffective in helping them become proficient
and
independent readers.

Dyslexia and ADHD are chronic conditions that often exists concurrently with deficits in critical learning skills such as working memory. Only a full diagnosis can uncover these affected skill
areas so that proper intervention can take place.

A formal
diagnosis of Dyslexia and/or ADHD can lead to more effective classroom and
homework accommodations,
and may assist in securing a 504 Plan, which often times
allows accommodations to be provided even when a child is not eligible
for special services. |

Tid-Bits
you Should Know.
|
* According to numerous national studies, Special
Education reading programs provide little to no increase in a
child's rate of reading growth - meaning they are generally
ineffective.
* Short term, quick-fix programs measured in weeks
don't produce long-term results. Effective remediation programs are
measure in months or years, not weeks.
* Self-paced computer programs can't teach a child
to overcome their difficulties.
* Arbitrary individualized goals found in school
IEP's are NOT the same as individualized achievement plans that detail
HOW a child will improve their skills. In general, IEP goals are
of little benefit to a student.
* Did you know you can RECORD your IEP meetings? Do
it and get better results!

Comprehensive
Evaluations |

Because the symptoms of Dyslexia and AD/HD-I (Inattentive Type,
also known as ADD) can be
very similar, it is important to test for both conditions to ensure a
proper testing conclusion. In fact, since 30 to 40% of people with
Dyslexia also have AD/HD (and visa-versa), it is important to
determine if the two conditions are co-existing so that the proper
remediation plan can be implemented.
