“Our son has completed the Barton spelling program with LFA but continues with executive functioning and writing skills with his tutor Dave. Dave is a great mentor and role model for our son, and he looks forward to his sessions with him. He’s resistant to let us help him with his homework but he’ll let his tutor help!” - B.R. - mother of an 8th grader #lfatestimonialtuesday #dyslexiaawareness #dyslexiasupport #readingskills #writingskills #tutoringservices #dyslexia #executi

Mr Rogers
We're honored to be on the team of many students for whom learning is a daily challenge. The real time and effort of the student, their families, and their educators is so worth it in order to make the student's visions and goals for their future become a reality. #learning #perseverance #growthmindset #growth #hardworkpaysoff #dyslexia #dysgraphia #dyscalculia #ADHD #learningdisability #tutor #tutoring #tutoringservices #therapeutictutor #therapy #educationaltherapy #student

Dyslexia Fact
Many of our students come to us in 3rd-4th grade. This is when sight words get more challenging and students can no longer rely on their visual memory for spelling words. Luckily, with the proper reading and spelling program (We use Barton Reading and Spelling), these students can be successful and become life-long readers. @SusanBartonDyslexia #dyslexia #dyslexiaawareness #learningdifferences #reading #read #writing #spelling #Decode #books #educationaltherapy #Tutoring #tut

A lot of practice went into preparing for her performance at the inauguration this week. Sometimes learning challenges are life-long and take hard work to overcome.

Sensory Processing Issues
Two types of sensory processing issues are sensory avoidant and sensory seeking. What does each look like and how can we support children who struggle with either as they navigate their world? @understoodorg has some answers. https://www.understood.org/en/learning-thinking-differences/child-learning-disabilities/sensory-processing-issues/understanding-sensory-processing-issues

"I chose to have my daughter work with LFA because they really took extra steps to be sure they understood my child’s needs, worked with our treatment plan and created an intensive program that fit our schedule. Other people she works with have already told me they see and hear a real difference and she is progressing through her work at a much faster pace than she was before working with LFA." -K.H., mom of a 6th grader #lfatestimonialtuesday #dyslexiaawareness #cognitivedev

“After about a year of working with LFA's amazing tutors, my 10-year-old daughter has made significant progress, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Through her tutoring sessions she is acquiring all the right tools to help her manage her academics through the challenges she faces from dyslexia and thrive in that environment. Aside from the academic achievements she has accomplished through her hard work, the most significant transformation is her level of confidence

Audiobooks are great for students (and adults)!
Audiobooks are great for students (and adults!) with Dyslexia, as well as other struggling readers. They're also great for students for whom reading is a non preferred task. Check out this short article from Lexercise (http://www.lexercise.com), where they share why audiobooks are such a great tool. Audiobooks (or a subscription to a service) also make great holiday gifts! #read #reading #audiobooks #books #giftideas #holidaygifts #holidays #holidays2020 #readingcomprehension

“Our son has been working with Learning for All for almost a year now. We tried other tutoring centers and tutoring systems with no results. We finally had a breakthrough with Learning for All and the Barton System. Rachel Herman has supported us as parents of a child with dyslexia as well. She has helped us understand what our son is going through and what we need to do to support him and help him be successful. And all of our tutors have been amazing. They have taken the ti

"Go see Rachel and her team immediately! Don't even think about it! We started a few months ago when our HS Junior was found to have dyslexia. LFA tutors are great working with teens and my daughter LOVES them. She isn’t hesitant to ask the questions she felt she couldn’t ask anyone else, for fear of looking dumb. They move her through things at a great pace, spending time where they need to, to make sure she’s mastered the concept before moving on. We've tried a few other pl

"We’ve had my 7yr old daughter in tutoring at LFA since this summer, and although we haven’t had a formal diagnosis (but essentially she’s showed signs of dyslexia and dysgraphia), she has showed significant gains in her reading, writing, and spelling. She is really improving and I see her using the skills she learns in tutoring at home (remote school). This is a little harder to measure but I would say she’s also applying more critical thinking skills that she is learning th
