…To support difficulties with reading, math, organization and attention.

Over the years we have realized that many of our clients and other children in the community need after-school learning support that is in addition to or instead of formal Occupational Therapy.  Therefore, we have developed a small team of academic coaches that work with students of all ages.  Our coaches are not just ‘tutors’, they are trained to support and/or supplement our therapy efforts with a focus on applying sensory strategies during learning, as well as executive function skills. Our coaches may be Master-level Special Education Teachers or highly educated graduate students.  Our coaches and occupational therapists collaborate with the student to develop a team approach to learning.

We train our academic coaches to understand children with learning differences. Our coaches know that every child learns differently and every environment affects learning differently. We educate our coaches about sensory processing, executive functioning skills and behavior.  Our coaches work with students one-on-one at our learning center or at the students’ home.  Our coaches also support in-home Cellfield and Tomatis® interventions, as needed.
