READING: Decoding and reading comprehension.  Our reading specialists are trained in a variety of reading decoding methods including: Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, Lindamood-Bell, and Project Read.  

WRITING: Spelling, mechanics, sentence structure, and written expression. Written language intervention includes a focus on reading comprehension to foster reading-writing connections.

EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING and STUDY SKILLS: strategies to support planning, organization, memory, study skills, time management, listening comprehension, note taking -- anything that can get in the way of day-to-day academic success. 

MATHEMATICS: Calculation and problem solving.

SPEECH-LANGUAGE:   supports the development of all facets of language, including listening/language processing, vocabulary knowledge and retrieval, verbal memory, spoken language formulation, social pragmatics, pre-reading/spelling, and speech articulation abilities.  Our focus is on speech and language skills necessary for literacy learning as well as academic and social success. Individual and/or small group available.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY: focus on the development of motor abilities that underlie handwriting and and day-to-day performance with tasks requiring motor strength, dexterity, and coordination as well as perceptual processing.  Our focus is on functional skills, such as handwriting, bike riding, bilateral coordination, eye-hand coordination for drawing, visual memory, and other perceptual or motor abilities. 

SPEECH-LANGUAGE:  assessment of oral communication skills, including listening/language processing, vocabulary knowledge and retrieval, verbal memory, spoken language formulation, social pragmatics, pre-reading/spelling, and speech articulation abilities.  Evaluations are designed to reveal students' linguistic strengths and areas of need as well as help parents and educators understand how these strengths and needs affect performance in school.  

ACADEMIC (READING, WRITING, MATH):  assessment of achievement in pre-reading skills (phonemic awareness and orthography), reading (decoding and comprehension), writing (spelling and written expression), and mathematics (computation and problem solving).  Our goal is to identify the level at which students are performing and to assist parents and schools with using instruction and intervention approaches that are well suited students' learning styles and needs. 

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY:  assessment of fine motor foundations related to handwriting and day-to-day performance with tasks requiring motor strength, dexterity, and coordination as well as perceptual processing.  Our goal is to identify students' day-to-day performance with fine and gross motor tasks and to assist parents and teachers with supporting students' motor skills at home and at school.

COMBINATION: Where appropriate, we see students for two different types of evaluations and integrate all of the test results to get a more global understanding of strengths and areas of need.
