Be it ADHD, dyslexia, or autism, SpEd students are presented with a roster of learning challenges.
Thankfully, a tailored approach can help SpEd students clear those learning hurdles. By assessing how your child learns and aligning it with the right instruction style, they can overcome reading difficulties or foundational learning struggles that are holding them back from succeeding in the classroom.
The San Diego education consultants at e3 Consulting have been guiding SpEd students toward a place of academic enrichment for the past 20 years. Our tailored academic support takes your child’s social, emotional, and foundational learning needs into account so that they can overcome barriers and regain their youthful confidence.
Find out how we help SpEd students succeed at e3 Consulting, and request an academic consultation if your child requires academic support outside of class.
Helping SpEd Students Succeed
Students with special needs, including learning and developmental challenges such as ADHD and dyslexia, face a unique set of challenges in the classroom.
However, hope remains in a tailored learning environment, one that considers your child’s social and emotional needs alongside foundational academic skills. To learn what we need to customize your student’s academic journey, our San Diego educational consultants will ask questions three initial questions:
- Do their foundational learning habits need to be rebuilt?
- Are they ready to move on to higher-level learning skills?
- Are there any better ways for them to learn?
e3 Consulting’s San Diego educational consultants are also aware of the different accommodations attached to certain learning challenges. Students with ADHD, for example, often thrive in smaller class sizes and with extra test-taking time in our experience.
On the other hand, autism – another developmental disability – is best served with certain sensory processing accommodations, such as noise-canceling headphones or kinesthetic seating. As for dyslexic students, the modern practice of literacy intervention helps to boost their reading comprehension to the appropriate grade level.
With certain learning accommodations, your child can be set up for success. When you enroll in our academic enrichment program, we start by determining whether your child needs to backtrack and rebuild their basic reading skills. We’ll coach them on phonics, fluency, and more complex literary skills, helping them “learn to read” so that they can “read to learn.”
How e3 Consulting Will Care for Your Child
Once our San Diego education consultants have uncovered whether foundational learning habits need rebuilding, whether they’re ready for tougher learning skills, and if there are better ways for them to learn, they’ll determine the best learning strategy for your child.
There are three trusted practices we employ when providing academic support to students with ADHD, autism, and other developmental or learning challenges:
Direct Instruction
This is also known as “traditional” teaching, the classroom-style education that most of us are familiar with. It involves structured lessons presented by teachers, a mix of guided and independent practice, or homework, and regular feedback.
Learning Strategy Instruction
Learning strategy instruction teaches students how to learn more effectively. If your child is struggling to keep up with their reading grade level or struggles with foundational reading skills due to their dyslexia, this is the strategy we employ. Instead of building knowledge in a certain subject, learning strategy instruction develops crucial study habits and critical thinking skills which will carry over into any subject.
Multi-Sensory Instruction
For the most part, classroom learning engages two senses: sight and sound. Your child sees their teacher and listens to their lessons. On the other hand, multi-sensory instruction engages multiple senses – visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile – because students learn more effectively when taught with more than one or two senses.
San Diego Educational Consultants for SpEd Academic Support
Children with learning and developmental obstacles such as ADHD, dyslexia, and autism deserve a tailored approach to instruction. By accommodating their learning styles with the matching instruction strategy, your child can make visible progress, whether they’re rebuilding reading skills or foundational learning skills. This is exactly what we’ve offered at e3 Consulting for the past 20 years, with some parents calling our program “One of the best decisions I made as a parent.”
