Identifying Blocked Learning Gates Screenings
Featured speaker Dianne Craft and her colleague, Cassie Moore, will informally assess your child’s:
- Processing Problems (visual, auditory, visual/motor)
- Dysgraphia and writing needs
- Math needs
- Spelling needs
- Reading needs
You’ll begin by submitting an assessment; at your screening, Dianne or Cassie will discuss each learning gate individually, then share with you what corrections can be made, what steps are needed to use Brain Integration Therapy to correct learning disabilities or learning glitches, and daily lesson plans to help your child (of any age!) make leaps in learning this next school year.
Cost is $10, entirely donated to the Struggling Learners Fund.
Reading Screenings
Featured speaker Teri Spray (of Christian Cottage Home School Services) and her colleague are offering a limited number of 30-minute reading screenings for children ages 5-16. Reading is the gateway skill to homeschooling success! If your child seems to be struggling, a screening will let you know his or her reading level based on phonemic awareness, oral reading fluency, and comprehension skills. Teri can recommend techniques and types of curricula, and give you the encouragement you need to get your child back on track.
Cost is $10, entirely donated to the Casterline Single Moms Fund. Please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled screening.
Executive Functioning Screenings
Featured Speaker Tara Roehl, MS, CCC-SLP will provide Executive Functioning Screenings for children ages 8 and older. These screenings will look at key developmental areas of planning and organization in your child including:
- working memory
- metacognition
- sustained attention
- task initiation
- flexibility
- goal-directed persistence
… and more. The dynamic assessment will take approximately 10 minutes, followed by a 5 minute debrief with the parent(s).
Cost is $10, entirely donated to the Struggling Learners Fund.
