How can we help? |
Learning Options specializes in working with clients who have a unique way of learning and thinking. Visual-spatial thinking can be at the root of many strengths and gifts, but it can cause problems in traditional academic settings.

"Beau was diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade and spent years in Resource and Title One classes. When he started to read he'd get horrible headaches, was afraid of long words, and his reading was never smooth. Some kids made fun of him when he was asked to write or read in class. It's hard to believe this is the same Beau, tired of a lifetime of special ed and the lack of motivation and lack of positive energy that surrounded him. He remembers being discouraged from taking a science class and being put in a class with crayons instead. [Now] Beau is taking an interest in reading. He seems more comfortable, more aware of his problems and has tools to correct them -- he seems so much more confident in his reading. He never complained about going to Elsie's. Being a teenager, studying is something he normally avoids. After class Beau had comments about what he learned, seemed proud of himself. Thanks for making learning fun. His confidence and self esteem make all the difference for him. He is able to advance and do well though in the same setting because he knows he can do it. You have a special place in our hearts." -- Mom's comments right after Beau's program From discouraged to working into regular classes, he graduated and went on to a college program where his dyslexia helped him financially. "I'm living the dream using my degree working with music festivals around the country." -- Beau's comment |
