Summer Tutoring
As the school year comes to a close, many students look forward to a break from the structure, expectations and demands of school. However, students with special needs, are at higher risk of experiencing difficulty in retaining skills learned through the academic school year after extended time off from school, such as summer months or spring break.
This is commonly referred to as “the summer slide.” These extended interruptions break the rhythm of instruction, lead to forgetting, and require a significant amount of review of material when students return. Ultimately, the student's skills regress. Likewise, recoupment (i.e. regaining skills lost over such periods of time) may take longer. This cycle of regression/recoupment poses a hindrance to our children's academic success.
Our summer tutoring program is offered to expand learning time for children with Down syndrome. It is led by high-quality certified special education instructors. The tutoring program will be individualized and customized via parent/caregiver desires. There will be a certified special education teacher and three educational aides (students who are in college for special education) per session.
Prior to the beginning of tutoring, parents will have an opportunity to interact 1:1 with the lead teacher to discuss the parent's goals for the summer tutoring session. Our team of teachers will meet on a separate day prior to tutoring to create each child's individualized plan. IEP's and any other information that parents wish to share will be reviewed as well.
