Current Programs

Our instruction is based on an individual child’s learning needs and embodies an interactive, balanced approach. Our goal is to teach students to integrate sensory information to help them become self-correcting and independent in all learning skills.

Language Comprehension Program

Reading Comprehension

Are you ready for your child to meet their reading potential?
Often students read words accurately, but can’t comprehend the content.

They may have difficulty connecting to language they read or language they hear. Words seem to go in one ear and out the other. These students are accused of not trying, and may have been labeled a “motivation” or “attention” problem. A primary cause of language comprehension problems is difficulty bringing everything together and getting a picture in your mind. This is called weak concept imagery. This weakness causes individuals to only get “parts” of an idea, such as a few facts or details rather than the whole picture.

• Have difficulty with reading comprehension
• Have to reread material several times
• Have trouble following directions
• Get lost in conversations or seem shy
• Have difficulty expressing ideas
• Have unorganized and nonspecific writing

Core uses programs and techniques that successfully stimulates concept imagery. Individuals become able to make images in their mind which include color, and even movement. This improves their language comprehension, reasoning for critical thinking, and expressive language skills.

Reading Program

Learn to Read and Reading Boot Camp

Are you ready for your child to meet their reading potential?
Many children are unable to read and spell words to their potential or have trouble with reading fluency.

A primary cause of decoding and spelling problems is difficulty in judging sounds within words. This is called weak phonemic awareness. Often children omit, substitute, and reverse sounds and letters within words and cannot judge whether what they say matches what they see. They cannot detect and correct their errors in reading and spelling. Individuals can sound words out well, but don’t have the ability to read fluently. A cause of difficulty in establishing sight words and fluency is difficulty in visualizing letters in words. This is called weak symbol imagery. Symbol imagery can be defined as the ability to visualize the identity, number, and sequence of sounds and letters within words.

• Weak word recognition
• Weak reading fluency
• Weak spelling
• Weak pronunciation skills
• Weak visual memory

The programs we use are sensory cognitive and successfully stimulates phonemic awareness of the mouth actions which produce speech sounds. This enables individuals to become self-correcting and confident in reading and spelling, and speech. We also focus on successfully developing symbol imagery and applying it to sight word development, contextual fluency, spelling and increasing the speed and stability of phonemic awareness.

Writing Program

Print and Cursive

Are you ready for your child to meet their handwriting potential?
Legible and fluent handwriting is possible for all students.

We aim to make legible and fluent handwriting an easy and automatic skill for all students. Our unique and compelling curriculum design and teaching strategies allow children to gain mastery and confidence more quickly and can focus on the content of their work rather than the mechanics of letter formation.

Does your child:

• Take a long time to write
• Have handwriting that is difficult to read
• Have trouble spacing letters
• Reverse letters
• Have an awkward pencil grip

We combine the proven success of The Handwriting Without Tears® program and engaging techniques and activities that help improve a child’s early self-confidence, pencil grip, and body awareness skills while teaching accurate letter formation, spacing and neatness in handwriting. This results in writing that is fluid, legible, and automatic. We focus on print as well as cursive writing need in an age appropriate manor. Both programs are fun and engage children through music, movement, manipulatives, letter play, building, and coloring to develop handwriting skills.
