Often, children who are struggling in school are not placed in Special Education and are not given the services that could help them reach their excellence. In a system severely underfunded and over populated, unfortunately this has become the reality for thousands of children throughout the U.S.

If your child could utilize these services, but the school system has found that they do not meet the criteria necessary for Special Education, a growing alternative is Special Education Tutoring. It’s a way for children to gain additional assistance from a tutor who understands HOW to teach in the way a child learns.

The more you know, the better equipped you will be to ensure your child’s academic success!
