Our Private Reading & Math Tutors Are Specialized in Helping Weston Students With Learning Challenges Including Dyslexia, ADHD, Language-Based Learning Disabilities, and More

Commonwealth Learning Center Provides the Weston MA Community With Individualized Tutoring

Commonwealth Learning Center (CLC) is a unique type of tutoring center. Other tutoring facilities may use group settings to coach their clients, but we provide individualized attention by supporting them one-on-one. At CLC we believe that each and every client is unique with their own challenges and learning goals. From elementary school through adulthood, our students receive the assistance they require in a patient, compassionate environment.

We work with students of all capabilities, regardless if they need a little additional homework help or are faced with a learning disability. Students with various learning challenges such as ADHD, dyslexia, executive function difficulties, language-based learning disabilities, and non-verbal learning disabilities come to us for assistance. Our educators are certified and experienced with advanced degrees in special education, reading, and math.

Our 4 main areas of focus are the following:

Educational Evaluations/Assessments

Our team believes that early intervention is vital to help a child be successful in school and the rest of their life which is why CLC offers educational assessments that can help uncover a learning difficulty or effective learning style. We can alter a student’s life and help them comprehend concepts that were outside their understanding once an evaluation is done.

All new clients are given a free consultation with the CLC director that includes reviewing past scholastic history and performance. Once we find out a student’s strengths and weaknesses, we can present an individualized education plan made specifically for them.

Shortly after the evaluation, the student and their parents will receive a testing report that identifies areas of difficulty and which programs and methods we recommend for their specific situation.

Our Tutors Help Weston Students With Reading

Learning to read is often one of the toughest things for a young student to grasp. We help foster better literacy skills in Weston MA with the help of our selection of accredited programs that are proven to improve reading. All of them can address conditions that make reading hard for students such as dyslexia. Our reading programs include:

• About Orton-Gillingham

  This program assists students who may pause when they are attempting to read through a sentence and find it challenging to match sounds with associated letters. It’s a phonetically based program that teaches students the basic foundations of the English language and builds from there.

• Wilson Reading System

  This 12-step program is great for students who have a difficult time with spelling and reading stand-alone words when they’re not being used in a sentence. The steps go beyond the phonics of the Orton-Gillingham program and students retain what they gain from constant repetitiveness. Students read and review only what they have been taught previously before progressing to the next step which is part of what makes this a successful program.

• About The Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing™ Program

  Also called LiPS, this is a strong phonetic program for learners who can not process distinct sounds, or phonemes, within spoken words. Specialists using this program demonstrate how the lips, mouth, and tongue can form certain letters and words.

• Nancibell® Visualizing & Verbalizing® Program

  This program was designed to generate mental pictures in students’ minds as reinforcement when they read and hear words. Students in this program have the ability to succeed across many courses of study before reading and writing.

• We Offer Math Tutoring Near Weston

  We help students achieve their potential in math employing a variety of teaching strategies in all mathematics levels from basic adding and subtracting to advanced pre-college math. We offer a variety of math programs to help students at all levels comprehend math by seeing the formulas. We also help students create a solutions manual of math formulas that strengthen concepts they have learned.

  Children learn math better when they see and “touch” numbers, which is why we use the TouchMath program to help them add, subtract, and multiply numerals.

We help students on an individual basis get ready for the SAT, SSAT, MCAS, PSAT exams, and more.

ADD vs ADHD: Is There a Difference?

ADD and ADHD are two terms that many people easily confuse. Don’t they mean the same thing?

Yes and no. At one time, ADD (attention deficit disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) were two slightly different diagnoses. ADD in children was defined by symptoms that didn’t include hyperactivity, but being more withdrawn, “spacey”, and having a hard time focusing and listening to instructions. ADHD in kids, on the other hand, was defined by having an abundance of energy, talking incessantly, and demonstrating “bouncing off the walls” behavior.

Today, however, ADD is considered an outdated term while ADHD is the medically recognized name for any behavior that indicates an inability to focus, whether the child is “hyper” or not. So, attention deficit disorder in children really falls under the umbrella of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. But your children’s doctor may still use ADD or ADHD to describe your child’s specific condition. They may still prefer to give an ADD diagnosis or an ADHD diagnosis to avoid confusion.

Diagnosing ADD and ADHD in Weston Kids

So, will your doctor conduct an ADD symptoms test or ADHD assessment for your child to determine if they have either? Believe it or not, there’s no single test to diagnose ADD or ADHD. Your child’s doctor will instead interview you, your child’s teachers, relatives, and other adults they come into regular contact with to determine if their symptoms are in line with ADD or ADHD. They’ll use standard guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics or the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) when making the diagnosis. Your child will also have their vision and hearing checked and receive a full physical exam to rule out any other medical conditions that may be causing symptoms similar to that of ADD and ADHD.

If your child is diagnosed with either, it’s important to let their educators know so they can work with them and make recommendations to you to help improve their focus in the classroom.
