If you or your child have poor grades or poor work performance, you may wish to consider remediation services. Remediation is very different than tutoring. Tutoring teaches subjects that are presented in school. Often children who can not read receive tutoring for years and years with limited progress. The problem is that the child does not possess the cognitive skills needed to be able to read.
Remediation helps the brain develop so that the necessary skills can be obtained.
The first step in over coming learning problems is to obtain a complete assessment. These methods tell whether a child has a learning disorder or not, but the results are not specific enough for effective remediation. A better method involves the Structure of Intellect testing combined with sensory testing. The second step involves remediation. Only the areas of the brain that relate to the individual's weaknesses will need to be remediated.
