PACE is an innovative, multidisciplinary approach to benefiting a child's entire learning system using best-of-breed techniques from education, psychology, visual and auditory processing approaches. Research has shown an average of 2-3 year improvement in several cognitive areas with only 12-18 weeks of intense, three-day-a-week, one-on-one therapy. We have also documented an average of 2-3 years improvement in the dozens of students we have run through the program in the last year. Specifically, the PACE program helps develop the core cognitive skills of attention, working memory, processing speed, visual processing, long-term memory, auditory processing, reasoning and logic, and comprehension. All of these skills are essential to helping your child do well in school. See our PACE website for more details, and ask us for a videotape and evaluation. |

While we are not a homework help center, we do see part of our goal as helping students to become more efficient learners. Homework is part of their learning process. As such, if homework can be completed as a means of connecting the strategies included in their individualized plan to their daily life, then we are open to helping with homework. However, our first and foremost obligation is to work toward completion of the goals agreed upon in the individualized plan. |

We are happy to consult with classroom teachers. It is our experience that the more collaboratively teachers, parents, and outside specialists work together, the more efficiently a student is able to make progress. However, we will only contact teachers and school personnel at the parent's request, and once the school has been given permission to speak with us. |

We have tutors available in all subjects at the elementary and middle school level. Remedial instruction at the high school level is also available. |

We are able to provide services for students K-12. |

All of our tutors are trained in a variety of educational programs. Most of the programs used are strategy-based and, as such, can be applied across content areas. These programs include, but are not limited to:
