educators, students and the community to empower and bring
academic and life success to students with learning and attention
differences.
What We Believe

• The child suffers if the parent-school relationship is adversarial instead of collaborative.
• Understanding learning and attention differences, as experienced in the context of the classroom and the home, is the key to a good partnership between the school, parents and students.

• A strength-based approach at school and home is most effective in helping students reach their full potential.
