"I don't have time for this."
If you don't make time now, then when?
Research shows that the mental health impacts of students who struggle with literacy is real.
Also, our sessions are intentionally 90% of direct time with your child and 10% of follow-up with you. Often the students find independence in attending the live 1:1 tutoring sessions and are eager to carry over strategies that are working for them.
For every moment you address the problem now, the better the outcome and less time you will have to spend in the long run.
"It's too expensive."
We strive to keep our pricing as low as possible because we realize the cost of learning struggles is heavy.
​
But we also know from experience with 130+ cases that the sooner you invest in your child's literacy, the less costly it will be if you wait.
Throughout the span of our remediation planning you will have full authority in your investment.
We aim to be upfront with our estimate of the time and investment, but every student is different and their progress is individual.
"Will this really help?"
This assessment is an integral part of building the remediation plan and will determine if your student is a good fit for our program.
All of the students have had great gains and success with our program when they are committed and consistent. Just take a look at our testimonials from previous clients!
Our assessments are not for diagnostic purposes but rather for the development of individualized treatment intervention to ensure writing success. Our handwriting report can be provided to your diagnostician/pediatrician to aide in determination of a diagnosis. Our tutoring sessions provide handwriting tutoring and our tutors are educational consultants. We do not provide occupational therapy services but will gladly provide a referral if it is determined that your child needs more intensive, skilled services.
