Children with learning disabilities have trouble keeping up academically with peers their own age. Their disabilities may be attributed to a number of causes including dyslexia, mental retardation, autism, or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), among others. Children diagnosed with these disabilities can be taught ways to overcome their handicaps, especially when given highly personalized instruction tailored specifically to the needs of that child. Tower Educational Consulting Group. offers a learning disability instruction and support program right in the privacy of the LD student's home. It is Tower Educational Consulting Group's experience that students with learning disabilities achieve greater benefits when tutoring is performed in the child's home. This is particularly important for learning disabled students who do not cope well in crowded, often chaotic surroundings such as their classroom or group therapy. Individualized home tutoring in a controlled environment helps restore confidence in a learning disabled student and enables them to more efficiently reach their full potential. In addition, Tower Educational Consulting Group has a large pool of certified and specially trained tutors, who have worked with the learning disabled on a daily basis. These tutors are up to date on the latest cutting edge methods being employed to help the learning disabled, including the phonemic awareness (the ability to perceive sounds in words) and concept imagery (the ability to process whole ideas) emphasized in the Lindamood-Bell Learning Process. Tower Educational Consulting Group can assist children with the many different types of learning disabilities including the following: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are the most common behavior disorders diagnosed in children and teens. Symptoms are inattention, inability to consistently focus, remember, and organize, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity. The cause is not known, although chemical balances in the brain affect temperament and behavior. The condition runs in families. ADD and ADHD is usually diagnosed when a child is 6 to 12 years of age. Although there is no cure, treatment can help control symptoms, including medications, socialization training and behavior management. Dyslexia, (also known as Developmental Reading Disorder) is quite widespread, affecting between 2-8 percent of elementary school children. Dyslexic children can have problems in any of the tasks involved in reading, and a significant number of people with dyslexia share an inability to distinguish or separate the sounds in spoken words. Tower Educational Consulting Group reading specialists have techniques that can help many children with dyslexia acquire these skills. Autism is a developmental disorder that interferes with the ability to communicate with and relate to others. Autism affects how a person perceives and processes sensory information. Signs of autism almost always develop before a child is 3 years old. The cause of Autism is unknown but research indicates it may be caused by inherited irregular brain structures. Symptoms of autism are repetitive patterns of behavior and difficulty with social interactions and relationships, verbal and nonverbal communication. Behavioral training, specialized therapy, parent education and support, and sometimes medications can often improve an autistic child's problem behaviors, communication skills, and socialization.
