Welcome Parents,

If you’re like most parents you’ve probably felt overwhelmed when you realized your child was experiencing difficulties with learning in a traditional school environment.

Is this you?

“I can’t take it anymore! My son fights me every step of the way. I need relief!”

“I don’t know what it is. I can’t figure out how she needs to learn this stuff!”

Help is available.

Have you recently:

• Learned your child has ADD or ADHD?
• Discovered your child has “upside down brilliance”? (special Visio-spatial intelligence)
• Been told you gifted child wasn’t truly gifted? (But really she is, just with learning disabilities and/or ADHD)
• Noticed your child was having great trouble with reading?
• Seen your child get increasingly anxious when test-time comes around?

Sound Familiar?

If there were a way you could learn to manage this information better, would it make your life easier?

Could eradicating overwhelm, fear and confusion make your life and your child’s happier?

If you’re like many parents, you’re probably exhausted at the end of the day, wondering how in the world you will cope with another day of stress in dealing with your child’s educational challenges. Working with the “system” isn’t exactly easy is it?

Relief is close by! We can help by working with you, partnering in the process, so that you can get out of the stress cycle, and instead, ENJOY you family time!

Once you’ve learned exactly what you need to make this process easier, you can cut out useless tasks, time wasting activities and negative struggles with your child.

Can you imagine how much different your life would be if you had the needed help in life to reduce your stress?

Note: We are NOT promising you a QUICK FIX; rather we are supporting you in making the changes needed to have a family life you enjoy. We can show you tools and strategies and provide information so that you make informed decisions and aren’t bending in the wind, with every strong gust!

Maybe you’re feeling pretty good about life and just needed some help understanding the special education MAZE. No problem, we can provide you whichever level of service needed.

Provide Guidance Through the MAZE

Are you confused about all the paper work involved in special education?

Partner With You In The Process

The Learning Ground consulting network exists to make your life better. Sometimes all you need is some reassurance. Sometimes you need encouragement. Sometimes you need a team of professionals. Sometimes it’s just a phone call or email.

We are your resource to the resources!

Are you struggling with your child at home?

Do you fight over homework and projects?

Has your child become resistant to your involvement as a parent?

Is your child sad and withdrawn? Exceptionally moody? Easily frustrated?

We have an ecological perspective meaning that we view the whole environment and situation--not just school. This includes:

• mind/body connections to learning
• psychological wellness
• emotional context
• stress levels
• physical issues
• family dynamics
• peer relationships

What is it, exactly, that we do?

We explore with you the current situation you are in as it relates to your child’s education and learning disabilities.

We answer any questions that you may have.

If needed, we develop an action plan that involves the family and child.

We provide ongoing or periodic support in implementing your individual action plan and answering further questions as they arise.

We may observe and/or consult with the support professionals you have engaged to work with you child, such as tutors, educational therapists (pop-up box on what is an educational therapist), advocates, pediatricians, counselors, psychiatrists, etc.

We can work with your child’s teachers in an advisory capacity in regards to techniques, best practices, and your child’s unique needs.

We will refer you to other professionals as needed.

We can provide school placement consulting, translation (Spanish) in IEP/504 and other meetings and college guidance consulting.

Additionally, we offer workshops for parents. Click Here To Be Notified of TLG Events.

Clear up the questions:

• Are you beginning the process of discovering?
• How your child learns best?
• Your child’s challenges?
• How to manage these issues in a traditional school environment?

Special Education:

• Whether you are concerned that your child might need special services, know your child has a learning disability but won’t “qualify”, or just realize that your child is a very unique learner, we can assist you in uncovering the best options so that your child will be a happy, fulfilled learner (as best as possible in an imperfect environment!).
• Do you need an IEP or 504 plan?
• Do you understand the plan you already have?
• Do you know if your child is making enough progress in his or her current situation?
• What exactly do all those assessment scores mean anyway?
• Can you and your child articulate his or her strengths and how to use these to the best advantage?
• What about private schools? Schools without a special emphasis or schools for learning disabilities? Which one is the best “fit” for your child’s unique make-up?
