LEARNING MATTERS PROVIDES GRANTS (TUITION SUBSIDIES), ATTAINED BY FUNDRAISING, FOR SERVICES BASED ON FAMILY INCOME. 0 0 467967 78110 614413 ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING - THE MAJORITY OF WORK INVOLVES PROVIDING ONE-ON-ONE LEARNING SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS IMPACTED BY A LEARNING DISABILITY, PRIMARILY DYSLEXIA. INTERVENTIONAL TUTORING, SUCH AS THE STRUCTURED LITERACY WE PROVIDE, IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND UNATTAINABLE FOR LOW-MODERATE INCOME FAMILIES. WE PROVIDE THIS SERVICE AT LITTLE OR NO COST BASED ON FAMILY INCOME. A CREDENTIALED TEACHER TRAINED IN THE SPECIFIC AREA OF NEED IS THOUGHTFULLY PAIRED WITH EACH STUDENT. TYPICALLY, TEACHERS WORK WITH THEIR STUDENTS TWICE PER WEEK FOR AN HOUR EACH SESSION. INTERVENTION COULD LAST A SEMESTER OR SEVERAL YEARS. STUDENTS DO NOT NEED TO HAVE A DIAGNOSED LEARNING DISABILITY TO RECEIVE SERVICES. 268102 268674 ACADEMIC ASSESSMENT - AN ACADEMIC ASSESSMENT PROVIDES DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE UNIQUE WAY EACH STUDENT LEARNS. OUR EXPERIENCED TEAM OF EVALUATORS ARE EXPERTS IN THEIR FIELDS AND INCLUDE CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS, SPEECH AND LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS, AND READING DIAGNOSTICIANS. OUR EVALUATORS USE NATIONALLY NORMED PROTOCOLS THAT CAN IDENTIFY A LEARNING DISABILITY, ADD/ADHD AND ANXIETY. EVEN IF A LEARNING DISABILITY IS NOT DIAGNOSED, PARENTS CAN LEARN THEIR CHILD'S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES WHICH MAY BE THE CAUSE OF LEARNING STRUGGLES IN SCHOOL. THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS OF A PSYCHO-EDUCATIONAL AND/OR PYSCHO-EMOTIONAL ASSESSMENT CAN BE USED FOR ELIGIBILITY OF ACCOMMODATIONS THROUGH AN IEP OR 504 PLAN IN SCHOOL. 12608 SCHOOL ADVOCACY - ACQUIRING ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATIONS AND SUPPORTS FOR A STUDENT IN THE SCHOOL CAN BE AN OVERWHELMING AND INTIMIDATING PROCESS. LEARNING MATTERS ADVOCATES HELP PARENTS NAVIGATE THE COMPLEX PROCESS AND ATTEND SCHOOL MEETINGS ON BEHALF OF THE STUDENT. INVOLVING AN ADVOCATE ALLOWS THE PARENT TO EMOTIONALLY SUPPORT THEIR CHILD WHILE THE ADVOCATE HELPS ATTAIN SERVICES BASED ON THE LAW AND WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE STUDENT. ADVOCACY IS PROVIDED AT NO COST TO FAMILIES IN NEED. 748677 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 37 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 TN X X CHRISTINE ANDREWS 6157390546 PO BOX 150175 NASHVILLE TN 372150175 CHRISTINE ANDREWS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 30.00 X X 71273 0 0 JOSEPH RANDO DIRECTOR - END 9/23 1.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE EVANS TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KERRY PRICE PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE DURMAN SECRETARY - END 9/23/ PRES.
