LIVE VIRTUAL ACADEMIC THERAPY=PROVEN RESULTS
"To be honest, I was not completely on board with the virtual therapy knowing how badly it went for my son during COVID. However, it is amazing how well it works and I really attribute that to his academic therapist working to keep my son's attention and make it interesting for him. He used to fight us having to go to his previous tutor, who was very nice - but, it wasn't exciting enough for him. He literally does not complain at all about meeting with his ASDEC therapist. And she is a magician in how she works with him. We have seen improvements!" Parent of third grade student, Spring 2023

The kids are fantastic! They love coming each Saturday and their parents are so grateful. The kids literally leave the sessions singing and dancing about the lessons.
ASDEC Academic Therapist Laurie Moloney designed this clinic to bring therapy level instruction to families who typically cannot afford private therapy. Thanks to a grant secured by Ronnetta Stanley of Loud Voices Together, Laurie’s dream of bringing high quality programming to students is now a reality for 10 wonderful scholars. WITH YOUR SUPPORT WE CAN HELP MORE STUDENTS!
"This is what I have been wanting to learn for years. I look forward to practicing these skills. Every teacher should have this knowledge and practice teaching these multisensory methods. Every child would benefit from this type of instruction. If I'd been taught to do this in my undergraduate years, a lot of people, including my son would not have had to struggle with ineffective curriculum." - Holly Colasacco
