OUR METHOD
Empowered Learning Transformation Centers Programs
The instruction is planned to meet the needs of each individual learner.
Multidisciplinary
Using the combined knowledge and skill of experts in the fields of education, medicine, psychology, social work and language theory.
Multisensory
Using all of the learning pathways: seeing, hearing, feeling and awareness of motion.
A Cognitive Approach
Students are guided to understand the reasons for what they are learning rather than relying only on memory.
Emotionally Sound
Instruction promotes successful experiences for students, which in turn promotes self-confidence and motivation.
When a deficiency interferes with our ability to function or perform a task it is said to be a disability, however, dysfunction doesn’t always translate to disability, it may simply indicate a learning difference, requiring a difference in teaching.
