LEARNING DISABILITIES--HOW CAN WE HELP?
 

Josh Sanford and Shelley Coulombe, our two LD certified homework coaches, have years of solid learning disabilities support experience and training, both as classroom teachers and as private tutors. Both have uniquely deep skill sets across the curriculum.

Although our other tutors are not LD specialists, all of our people have substantial experience working with students with a variety of learning disabilities and are very good at tailoring their sessions to the needs of their students.

Why what we do works:

Our homework coaches provide support in multiple subjects across the curriculum right up to AP and honors levels while also working to increase their students' conscious awareness of the various strategies available in their own academic situations and how to choose the ones that will be optimal.

We can help your child or teen to:

• become more confident and independent learners
• develop computer word-processing skills that will improve spelling and grammar, eliminate handwriting/legibility issues and and build strategies for revision of written work
• explore other assistive technology e.g. tape recorders, text reading systems, reading pens, speech recognition systems (like Dragon Dictate) and Echo Smart Pens
• chunk and prioritize short and long term assignments
• determine what, if any, accommodations are needed for the MCAS, SAT and ACT exams and understand how to go about requesting those accommodations

Recommended resources:

Learning Ally offers thousands of free audiobooks, including textbooks from major publishers for K-12, college and adult learners, which can be downloaded to a student's computer, iPod, Kindle, iPad and many other devices. The audio book service available at Audible.com is not free, but it is reasonably priced and works with iPods, Kindles, computers and over 500 other devices.
