Program Highlights

Here are some key features and what you can expect in our one-to-one program. We will discuss the options best suited for your child and family during and following your intake interview.

What to Expect

  • Participate in an intake interview with an LDS team member to assess student learning needs, program fit, scheduling, and funding.
  • Share relevant educational documents (IEP, PsychEd, report cards) with LDS to review and determine learning needs and priorities. 
  • Depending on program fit, your child will receive one-to-one explicit instruction in foundational skills such as phonics, reading comprehension, written output, and/or math, or homework support taught by experienced, specially trained instructors.
  • Students develop executive function skills such as working memory, attention, planning and organization through test preparation, note-taking, and study skills.
  • Receive the benefits of a program that draws from an extensive library of curricula that our expert instructors use to develop individualized learning plans based on student assessment, data and learning goals.
  • Our program integrates assistive technology tools (software and hardware) and social robotics where appropriate.
  • LDS supports students and families with case managers, including BC Certified Teachers, who observe and coach instructors (average 2 hours per week).

Progress Monitoring

  • LDS uses standardized assessment to identify individualized learning goals and develop learning interventions. 
  • LDS identifies, develops and reports on social and emotional goals to support students learning and confidence.
  • LDS uses ongoing assessments to monitor learning progress.
  • Families receive session snapshot reports after each session.
  • Families receive mid-year and end-of-year reporting on learning goals and progress. 

Extra Supports

Where warranted (to be determined in collaboration with families):

  • LDS will, with parent/guardian consent, forward your child’s learning plan, progress reports and session snapshots to their teacher(s), school-based team, and other professionals.
  • LDS can collaborate with specialists to support your child’s learning needs.
  • LDS can provide support with IEP development and communication with a school-based team.

What Does LDS Do?

Through our one-to-one foundational and explicit instruction programs, tutoring, and homework support, LDS empowers unique learners to recognize their own strengths, gain confidence, and achieve lifelong confidence and success inside and outside the classroom.
