Frequently Asked Questions
What type of students do you work with?
Our program is designed to help children and adults who have been diagnosed with dyslexia and/or a verbal learning disability.
Does it matter where a student goes to school?
No, we work with individuals in our area who can attend tutoring sessions at our Center twice a week on a regular basis.
In-person tutoring is ideal, but thanks to technology, our tutors may also be available for remote sessions.
How can a student be admitted to the program?
The Center works hard to ensure our program and tutors are the right fit for you. Please contact us to learn how to apply to our program.
How often do students receive tutoring?
Students commit to a one-hour session twice a week. Sessions are typically held after school on weekdays. Individuals in the program generally participate for two years.
What is the curriculum?
Students receive individually tailored lessons that build upon each quantifiable step forward. Lessons are multisensory and designed to reinforce already achieved skills while developing new ones. Please contact us for a more detailed discussion of our approach.
Do you test for dyslexia?
We do not.
To get a diagnosis for dyslexia, the testing needs to be conducted by a licensed professional, such as a Neuropsychologist or the Educational Psychologist at your child's school.
To receive tutoring services at The Center, neither neuropsychological nor psychoeducational test results are required. However, if you have them, they would be helpful to include when applying for our program.
If you would like to get testing done, we recommend starting at your child's school. In Pennsylvania, schools are required, by law, to conduct an evaluation within 60 calendar days of a parent's written request.
