ASDEC Programs for Students |
"Our son Adam is bright, dyslexic, and dysgraphic. We've had a couple lucky breaks in helping him with his learning differences. One of them was his attendance at the ASDEC summer program after his 1st grade year. ASDEC is special in that your child will work one-on-one with a certified language therapist. Your child will receive instruction that is tailored for him; her progress is based on her understanding of material, not the group's mastery of material. Following the summer program, ASDEC will match your child to a language therapist whose schedule and location matches yours, so your child can continue to work to become a fluent reader. Adam has worked with his therapist for the past two school years, both in-person and on-line. He'll continue to work with her this summer and next school year. He's made tremendous progress. He is in 3rd grade now and reads above grade-level, though slowly and tires quickly for a child his age. His therapist believes that by the end of next year, he'll be a fluent reader.. The summer program at ASDEC was a worthwhile investment for our family. I hope the on-line delivery puts it in reach of more families whose schedules wouldn't accommodate the in-person program. (Parent of ASDEC summer student)

Summer Math ProgramJuly 5-22, 2022 Grade 4&5 Math Foundations: 11:45-1:00 Algebra Prep: 1:30-3:00 Pre-registration now open | SUMMER MATH PROGRAM ONSITEThe ASDEC Multisensory Math Summer Institute is designed to serve students with language-based learning disabilities and related difficulties. It utilizes evidence-based practices and is reflective of applications of neuroscience supporting instructional strategies in teaching and learning mathematics. Students work in a group setting using the Concrete to Representational to Abstract instructional sequence. They utilize hands-on manipulatives as they explore math concepts. Though we support the use of accommodations for independent work, test and quizzes. The ASDEC program does not use calculators or technology for math fact retrieval. We focus on teaching fewer facts at a time to develop mastery over time. Students should be expected to build a stronger conceptual understanding of the structure of our number system and build math reasoning to support future experiences in math. This program is designed to help clarify previous unfinished learning in mathematics and solidify underlying concepts which support future success. Students will receive a binder with classwork as well as practice materials and a sample of manipulatives for use in supporting further instruction or support work with a trained professional.
