One of our grade-level special education specialists collaborates with you, teachers, and specialists in order to create a customized learning plan for your student, incorporating their IEP/504 plan goals and other information gathered during an initial Review of Records meeting.
REMEDIAL
EDUCATION
One of our grade-level specialists works with your child during regular school hours or after school, providing remedial intervention to keep them mainstreamed in a public school setting.
For a child who lives with a learning disability, high quality special needs tutoring is exceptionally valuable. It can make all the difference.
Children with learning disabilities are often overwhelmed within group-learning environments. To make matters worse, these children are usually subjected to a range of standardized tests, most of which fail to address the unique ways in which they confront and process information. If your child has autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, language processing trouble, ADHD or any other learning challenge, you’ve probably seen for yourself how the school experience can degrade into something counterproductive and harmful.
Activ8 works with your child's teacher and any other specialists to ensure our program aligns with your child's goals, often set forth in an IEP or 504 Plan. Because you are your child’s best advocate, you will always have a say in the support we provide your child. Together, we will work with you and with the school to craft a customized, comprehensive approach that truly serves your child.
When appropriate, tutors will communicate with other specialists with whom the student works -- including teachers, other tutors or learning specialists, therapists, neuropsychologists, etc -- to ensure that we are working effectively within the student's support network. For many students, the key to success lies in a multi-pronged approach that includes support from a wide range of experts.
Our Activ8 staff are trained to support those with a learning difference such as: dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, specific learning disability, weaknesses in working memory, processing speed or executive functioning, organizational challenges, auditory or visual processing disorder, mood disorders, anxiety and stress-related disorders, ADD, ADHD, Asperger’s and autism or a combination of these.
TESTIMONIALS
After trying several other tutors we are glad that we found Activ8! Our son with dyslexia was making very little progress with various other tutors, but the team at Activ8 was able to take him from a TK reading level to a late 2nd grade level in a few short months. All three of my children now attend Activ8. The patience and support for both student and family are outstanding. They welcome you into the Activ8 family and work with and encourage your students exactly where they are. It’s been such a huge blessing for our family to have found the team at Activ8 and heartily recommend.
