Invigorate Education Programs

Testing and Evaluations

Testing and evaluations are available for children ages 12 months to 18 years of age.
Evaluations may take anywhere between 2-6 hours depending on your child’s needs and other factors. Many evaluations are scheduled to be completed in 2 sessions, which do not include the initial intake session. 

A full evaluation will include:

● Reading (including fluency and phonemics), Mathematics and Writing Assessments (General testing provided upon       enrollment in group tutoring.)
● Speech & Hearing Evaluation
● Testing for learning disabilities including ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism (PDD including
  Aspergers) etc.
● Cognitive Assessment
● Emotional/Psychological assessments, including those for school readiness

​

Depending on the needs of your child and your family, tests may be added on or taken away.
If your child has and IEP, 504 Plan or SST plan those documents will need to be provided to Invigorate Education prior to testing. If you do not have copies of these documents, you may request them from the school, doctor or the entity that tested your child.


Once testing is complete, please allow 7-14 days before test results will be furnished to you.

List Of Services and Descriptions:

Educational Therapies:

At Invigorate Education we offer a service called “Instructional Therapy”. Instructional therapy is a way to address both the educational, cognitive and social/emotional/physical parts of a child.
 
There are several types of instructional differences that may be treated using educational therapy. Our goal at Invigorate Education is to promote the independence of your child, both socially and academically. At Invigorate Education we work with children who have some of the following learning, social and/or emotional “disabilities”.

​

  • ADHD

  • Aspergers

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • Dyslexia & Dysgraphia

  • CAPD

  • LD (generalized)

  • Processing and sensory disorders

  • as well as several other disorders (please inquire)

Types of Therapies Used

At Invigorate Education we have been trained to use several therapies, all of which are used in conjunction with your child’s likes and dislikes to create a powerful program for improvement.

Some of the methods we use include (but are not limited to):

●     Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
●     Executive Functioning Therapy
●     Lindamood-Bell
●     Slingerland
●     Handwriting Without Tears
●     Explode the Code
●     The Listening Program
●     Brain Skills
●     Orton-Gillingham
●     Wilson

Goals & Hours:

Instructional therapy goals vary based upon the child. Each child is given an individualized plan of action which outlines their strengths and weaknesses and how we plan to address the whole child and each deficiency.

​

With each child we are looking to overcome deficiencies in the following areas:

​

●     Cognitive
●     Speech and Language Development
●     Reading, Writing & Phonics
●     Mathematics (formulation, reasoning etc.)
●     Memory & Retention
●     Physical Aspect of Learning (concentration, mechanics of writing, willingness, school attendance adversity, socialization with peers, self-esteem)
●     Homework assistance
●     Time management

​

Those children who are receiving Instructional Therapy services from Invigorate Education are required to attend classes or sessions for at least 3 hours per week. Instructional Therapy will be broken up into modules. The modules your child will participate in will depend on the results of his or her assessment or evaluation.

Modules include memorization, reading, mathematics, behavioral therapy (which helps improve poor behaviors & thoughts), and developmental activities that assist with improvement across several areas.

Small Group Instruction

A small group at Invigorate Education never has more than 10 children. With small group instruction children receive reading, writing and mathematics assessments. While these assessments are not as intense, nor are they diagnostic, they provide us with a clear definitive outline of the scope of your child’s reading, writing and skill in mathematics.
Small group instruction is offered multiple times per year. There is a schedule listed which outlines the class start dates and availability. All small group classes are limited to 10 children. If your child is between the ages of 5 and 12 years, you are more than welcome, if not encouraged, to enroll your child in small group instruction.


During small group instruction, we do our best to address the individual needs of the student and the needs of the group simultaneously. Students are grouped into classes based on age and current reading level.
