Top 5 reasons your child with learning differences needs LDS’s specialized online learning support

RISE One-to-One specialized online instruction is for learners ages 5 – 18 with a suspected or diagnosed learning difference. Our expert team delivers customized learning support to students across Canada using our secure online platform and resources designed to enhance the online learning experience and student engagement.

1) Proven Results.  

LDS students are catching up to their general classroom peers by a quarter or half grade level in one year! Learn more about our Research-informed Individualized Student Education (RISE) methodology here. We measure our students’ progress, both quantitatively and qualitatively, in terms of their development of self-confidence, social awareness, decision-making, and relationship-building skills.

2) High-quality virtual classroom.  

RISE One-to-One online instruction is offered through LessonSpace. This platform is user-friendly, high-quality, secure, and interactive, providing the best remote learning experience possible.

We understand that many children struggle with whole-class online instruction via their schools, as one teacher trying to support the learning needs of over twenty diverse learners is exceptionally challenging. However, with your child’s one-to-one session at LDS, our instructors use an interactive platform that allows for hands-on student engagement and sessions tailored to each student’s learning, engagement, and behavioural needs. Many students who struggled in whole-class online sessions are able to very successfully engage in individual online sessions developed specifically for them.

3) Technologically advanced.  

At LDS we are using assistive technology to enhance best practices in our teaching and student learning and to further the accessibility and inclusiveness of our support. We are carefully identifying and assessing potential assistive technologies for specific use in individual student’s learning plans to maximize the benefit to each student. You can learn more about how we use technology here.

4) Holistic approach to learning.  

We coordinate with parents and guardians, classroom and resource teachers, counsellors, psychologists, family doctors, pediatricians and other professionals to build a full picture of each student’s learning profile. We develop customized learning plans and practice meticulous instructor matching and ongoing professional case management for each unique student. We also offer access to other programs to enhance social, emotional, and executive functioning learning for our students.

5) Accessible and Inclusive. 

LDS is dedicated to providing equitable and affordable access to learning support for all students. Thanks to the ongoing generous support of our donors, grantors, and sponsors, we are able to connect qualifying families in BC with external bursaries and provide our Bright Futures Bursary to help subsidize the cost of our programming to families in need.
