Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. What is the first step in the program?

The first step is to set up a reading ability evaluation. We employ nearly a dozen benchmark tests in reading fluency and comprehension. This group of tests gives us a snapshot of each student's strengths and weaknesses, allowing us to tailor a recommendation that best meets their needs. 

What are sensory cognitive functions?

Sensory cognitive functions are mental abilities rooted in sensory perception. The four primary functions are phonemic awareness, symbol imagery, concept imagery, and comprehension.

2. What are your instructors' qualifications?

All our instructors have college degrees and have been through rigorous months-long training in the Seeing Stars© and Visualizing & Verbalizing© programs. 

3. What if my student has behavior issues? 

Our instructors are patient and empathetic. They are trained to handle a wide variety of behavioral needs and are prepared with fun and efficient behavior modification tactics.
