Learning incorporates many processes.
Through targeted intervention it is possible to increase the ease with which your brain can process and access information. Using strengths is a positive place to build from.
We will identify areas that would benefit from explicit, systematic and targeted support. Developing the skills and strategies needed to increase the capacity to learn will be a focus.
Auditory Processing
Visual Perceptual Skills
Memory Processes
Learning is more than an education.
It is the process of transforming information and experience into knowledge, skills, and behaviours.
It is believing that everyone is capable of learning and has something worth sharing.
It is discovering the unique needs of learners and ensuring people have the skills to advocate for those needs.
Literacy Intervention and a Learning Disability
Youth with learning disabilities often struggle with academic and functional skills. Understandably, when youth are put in situations that they are not yet ready to handle they can escalate, negatively. This means that if learning struggles go unaddressed, increased emotional or behavioural struggles may surface.
Direct, targeted intervention provides the building blocks to help address learning struggles. By meeting youth where they are at it is possible to decrease emotional escalation which increases their capacity to learn. It is a confidence building cycle for youth to lean into and explore.
Instructional Practices
Lean-In and Leap use the same guiding principles to ensure that we provide research-supported, multisensory, individualized, systematic and responsive intervention practices.
