Who Can Benefit

Clients at Langsford Learning Center strengthen their learning because of effective methods and a deliberate approach.  However, each client brings with him or her several factors that must exist for sessions to be effective. Basic language skills must be intact.  Any medical or emotional concerns and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder should be addressed. Perhaps most important, all successful clients have a desire to overcome their difficulties.  Clients must want to attend Langsford Learning Center, and no one who displays notable resistance is accepted.  Our offerings require the interest and active participation of the client, factors essential to any meaningful learning situation.  Success stories at Langsford Learning Acceleration Centers are always attributable, in part, to motivation.

Langsford Intake Stories

Can dyslexia be tested for in kindergarten or 1st grade?
Jennifer, a mother of a 9 year old, 4th grader called.  Her daughter has always struggled as an emerging reader.  Last year she was diagnosed with dyslexia.  When asked if her daughter was tested before last year, Jennifer said "she was tested in Kindergarten and she didn't pass the Phonemic Awareness test, but her IQ was high no one suspected dyslexia".

Current scientific evidence continues to show that future reading struggles can be predicted in kindergärtners by completing a comprehensive assessment in the cognitive skills associated with the alphabetic principle, phonological processing, and  phonemic awareness.




Learning abilities acquired here are internalized.  A typical student leaves with intact learning processes, without the need for continued intervention or content tutoring.

 

"Thanks again for your contribution to my child's success story!   At each grading period of my daughter's school career, my thoughts go to Langsford...  She was able to achieve a 4.14 GPA this quarter in her Freshman year...  For a child who wasn't really reading until 3rd grade, this is a success story! She is reaching her potential and it is a joy to watch!"  Lynn, Parent & Public School Educator 

 

"...There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the great outcome (my son) has had from his time there. It has changed his life in so many ways. He is turning 17 Saturday and he is inviting about 11 kids over for a "Risk" tournament. Several new friends are on the list from school. It has helped him academically as well. He got all A's this quarter and is so confident now. ... Hope the word (about Langsford) continues to get out."  Marilyn
