We have found that many students suffer from difficulty with the curriculum rather than difficulty in learning. These individuals can make rapid progress when material is presented in a different way and at an appropriate rate. The Commonwealth Learning Center specializes in providing alternative curricula, tailored to each student's unique learning style. Many students need to use more than one modality to learn. We therefore teach them through a multisensory approach.
Many students learn best through association.
For these, we provide mnemonic clues to help them remember. Our highly skilled teachers continually adjust the teaching style to suit the needs of the learner. Multisensory methods have proved to be effective for dyslexic students and those with difficulties in language and memory. We match each student with a specific multisensory program to address these problems. The multisensory phonics-based programs we offer include Orton Gillingham, Project Read, and the Wilson Reading Program as well as the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing Program and Nancibell Visualizing and Verbalizing programs described below.
