Expert Skills-Based Remediation for Students with Learning Disabilities in Post Falls, Idaho

Personalized Instruction to Overcome Learning Differences in Post Falls, Idaho

This approach is used in the treatment of learning disabilities by targeting specific skill deficits in reading, written language, or math. Skills-based Remediation is direct, explicit, systematic instruction, coupled with best practices and research-based intervention strategies to remediate skill deficits.

Based on the child’s learning profile, an individualized Get Wired Plan is used to develop a unique, one-on-one plan to remediate the areas of deficit. Recognizing each individual child’s unique strengths and weaknesses is a critical piece in the remediation process.

We use research-based methods, such as Orton-Gillingham (O-G), in which instruction is direct, explicit, systematic, cumulative, intensive, and multisensory. This method integrates listening, speaking, reading, and writing. This multisensory approach stimulates the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways simultaneously to process information. Links are consistently made between the visual (language we see), auditory (language we hear), and kinesthetic-tactile (language symbols we feel) sensory channels of communication to increase learning and memory.

Remediation of learning disabilities requires the skill and expertise of a certified, trained Learning Coach. Our learning coaches have specific understanding of the neurological underpinnings of learning disorders, psychoeducational evaluations, and intervention strategies. They also have expertise in multisensory learning, alternative learning and instruction, self-advocacy techniques and skills the treatment of executive function disorders and ADHD. Remediation is a highly specialized service which sets it far apart from basic tutoring which usually focuses on homework help.
