Banayan Tree Learning Center can make a difference in the lives of students and adults with dyslexia, attention/focus problems, social and communication difficulties, and problems with executive functioning. Working 1 to 1, we use cutting edge, researched, brain-based tools and methods to provide cognitive training and address weak underlying processing skills which make learning slow, painful, and difficult. Schools focus on what students need to know, and we focus on how a person learns, strengthening the skills needed for learning with ease, working independently, and achieving academic success.

New research reveals that there are layers of functioning that affect all areas of learning, including memory, processing speed, attention, planning, organization, auditory processing, language, reasoning and visualizing. Our programs target these areas, transforming learning into a positive, successful experience for our clients.

Banyan Tree Learning Center provides academic, social, and emotional support to our students. We work with the whole child, and those involved in a child's life-teachers, counselors, therapists, parents and siblings. When a student struggles in school or in social situations, the coordination of support services is a key to success. Because we treat each student as an individual, our sessions may include the following types of support:

• Private academic tutoring
• Small group sessions
• Remedial instruction
• Strategies/memory techniques
• Learning disability support
• Study skills training
• Organizational skills assistance
• Test preparation
• Test taking skills
• Written language classes
• ADD coaching
• Homework help
• Classes for credit
• Home-school courses
• Cognitive retraining
• Foundational programs
• Sensory integration techniques
• Attendance at IEP meetings
• Communication with school staff
• Emotional support
• Motivation
• Assessment

Remediation for reading and spelling is structured, multisensory, Orton Gillingham based and includes Wilson Reading, FastForWord, and Lindamood Bell programs. Other interventions include Interactive Metronome, PACE, Cogmed, and Auditory Stimulation Training.
