Support for ADD/ADHD

The Reading Clinic staff  has experience with ADD, ADHD.
Paying attention refers to the brain's ability to take all of the stimuli around us, immediately categorize and organize information as relevant or irrelevant, and focus the mind on one thing. For a child in a classroom, paying attention to the teacher means filtering out as many as 30 other students and the dynamics between them, visual or outside distractions, noises, and more.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition of the brain that results in excessive activity (hyperactivity), impulsivity, and difficulties with focusing attention. ADHD often makes it difficult for children to control their behavior in school and social settings. It is one of the most common chronic conditions of childhood.

We provide students with a safe and accepting environment, engaging them in an ongoing process of discovery. In the dialogue-based format, students are better able to follow directions, stay on task, take more risks, complete assignments, and feel good about themselves.

The Reading Clinic identifies a student's basic needs and creates a tailored solution. The results are measurable, significant and most importantly, last a lifetime.
