Our staff have unique
qualifications for working with students with Aspergers Syndrome. Each
of our tutors has training beyond their original training as a teacher.
We support our tutors in a variety of areas related to Aspergers and social
skills that gives them an advantage in working with your child. Students
with Aspergers Syndrome often have difficulties in one or more academic areas
that extend beyond merely social issues or a manifestation of their Aspergers
"quirkiness". When there is an issue with an academic area we
can provide tutoring by trained teachers to support your child's progress in
school.
Individual attention is often
critical for a student to gain true comprehension of the subject matter.
When individual attention is essential our tutors provide that one-on-one
support and instruction. We also know that for students with Aspergers
Syndrome the social issues can be a very real and ongoing concern. Our
tutorial sessions can be individual or small group. Small group
tutorials provide the natural opportunity for students to work both on
academic content and social skills.
Beyond providing direct support
through tutorials with trained staff, we also offer comprehensive evaluations
by a licensed psychologist who has extensive experience with students with
Aspergers Syndrome. Our
assessment clinic, ASAP, routinely provides diagnostic evaluations for
families, second opinions assessments, reviews of previous evaluations, and
consultation on school-based evaluations in order to assist parent in making
the best decisions for their child's education.
If our skills and focus sound like what you and
your child need please contact us to discuss arranging for an initial
consultation.
