[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 509311, member: 1233"] The learning centers use a formula. They do NOT do the individualized things that our kids need and I don't think it is a good choice for your son. I also think that adding 2 hrs 2 times a week to his academics will make him HATE reading and that is NOT what you want. Have you had a PRIVATE speech/language evaluation, esp for auditory problems and other learning problems? I think it would be a FAR better choice to help difficult child, and a far less expensive and more effective one. This place is NOT going to figure out his problem unless it is pretty minor because that is just how they are. They do NOT have staff with enough real experience and training to do what your son needs. The school reading specialist would be far better but if he can't work wth her (personality clash, whatever), then another person who is truly experienced would be a much better choice. You could ask other school reading specialists in your district if they would tutor him, and if there is a 4 yr university with a college of education, it would be an EXCELLENT resource. the person who would work wiith your child might be a student, but would be closely supervised by professors, or you could get a grad student or professor to tutor him. The reading/math center at the college her is incredible - they do comprehensive testing that makes the franchise places look like a 5 min dr appointment and they choose the tutor for kids carefully based on who is best qualified to handle the problems AND who will work best with the child.
