LEARNING DISABILITIES

Please see the descriptions below to determine which best describes your child. 

Learning Disabilities Level of Need:

1. Mild:
   • Minimal difficulties with learning or comprehension
   • May require occasional support but can function independently in most situations
   • May experience challenges in one or two specific areas, like reading or math

2. Moderate:

1. • Noticeable difficulties with learning, which may require regular support or intervention
   • May struggle to keep up with peers academically and require accommodations (extra time, modified assignments)
   • Likely to need ongoing assistance in school or daily tasks

3. Severe:

1. • Significant challenges with learning and comprehension
   • Requires consistent and intensive support
   • May struggle with communication, self-care, and other life skills; often needs special education services or specialized environments

4. Profound:

1. • Extremely limited ability to learn or acquire new skills
   • Often associated with a range of cognitive and developmental impairments
   • Needs constant care, supervision, and support in most daily activities

With our resources and setting, we may be able to offer support in the case of mild learning disabilities.  Our learning environment can work well with some challenged students as we have individualized lessons, and can allow students to move around,  take the time they need to master concepts and our visual/hands-on lessons with non-paper options for practicing concepts can also be beneficial for some learning challenges.  

If a student is more than 2-3 years beyond typical for Core Academics and over the age of 10, we do recommend that you obtain professional tutoring.

Students that fit into the moderate level can also be considered but funding must be available for an assistant teacher to provide the additional support necessary for lessons and daily tasks. 

At this time, we are not equipped to meet the needs of those that fall into the Severe or Profound needs levels.
