What if I have a Learning Disability or think that I might have one?

If you are already diagnosed with a learning disability then we will work one-on one with you. This could include any number of accommodations and is specific to each individual. If you are wondering if you do have a learning disability we can work with you to pursue testing and to try different strategies to see if it helps with the problem. It is important to remember that we cannot help you if you do not tell us you have a problem. All information is kept confidential and any accommodations are handled discreetly.

What if I have a Physical Disability?

If you have a physical disability we will work with you to determine what we can do to help.
