" ... few programs offer a comprehensive,
balanced, and integrated implementation of these interventions,
which, in turn, provide the opportunit for a learning-disabled person
to reach his or her true potential. The overall goal is for the student to internalize what is
being taught and reach a level of independent mastery. It is when the locus of control switches
from being externally (school/teacher) driven to internally (child) controlled that students are
truly empowered. Students with learning disabilities are generally intelligent and talented. It's not
the student's fault that he or she has not been successful; often times, the LD child simply hasn't had instruction that "fits" his or her learning style.
Once given research-proven intervention that is appropriate in frequency, duration, and intensity - and appropriate to
an individual student's learning style - he or she can make tremendous gains." - Stewart Miller Headmaster, Greenwood School |
