✨ Our new website is LIVE! ✨

We’ve given the Adapted Learning Center website a fresh new look — and we’re so excited to finally share it!

Our updated site makes it easier to learn about how we support neurodivergent learners and their families, meet our incredible team of clinicians, explore our services, and understand what getting started with ALC looks like.

Whether your child is struggling with reading, writing, math, executive functioning, or simply needs support learning in a way that works for their brain, we’re here to help.

And if you’re not quite sure what kind of support your child needs? That’s okay too. You can book a free consultation directly through our website and we can talk it through together.

Take a look around! 💗

One of our parents wasn’t sure how to tell her 7-year-old son about his ADHD and dyslexia diagnoses. She had the conversation with him last night, and his response was: “Well, I have a fancy brain!” 🧠

Then he asked, “Is it rare?” and “Where did I get my brain?” 😆🥹

I love how kids this age make sense of things. And I give his parents a lot of credit for having a conversation they wasn’t sure how to start. Now he has a way to understand why some things feel harder for him, without assuming it means he isn’t smart.

We hear about the hard days all the time. It was really nice to hear about this one. 🩷

📣 I’m speaking at the AET Conference this November!

I’m honored to be presenting “Empowering the Whole Family: Partnering with Parents of Neurodivergent Learners” at this year’s Association of Educational Therapists conference, November 6–8.

As educational therapists, we’re trained to support students — but so much of our impact depends on how well we partner with the parents behind them. In this session, I’ll be sharing the Parent Partnership Pyramid, a practical framework I’ve developed for meeting parents where they are (Awareness → Collaboration → Empowerment) and helping them move from feeling overwhelmed and isolated to becoming confident, effective advocates for their kids.

Attendees will walk away with real conversation tools, advocacy coaching strategies, and boundary-setting practices grounded in the AET Code of Ethics — because sustainable practice matters just as much as good outcomes.

🥳 And that’s not all — I’ll also be joining the panel for the AET Ethics presentation as part of the pre-conference on Friday, October 23.

If you’re an educational therapist who’s ever felt unsure how to turn a stressed, anxious parent into a true partner in their child’s learning journey — I’d love to see you there. Let’s connect if you’re attending AET this year!

“What exactly does ALC do?”

We realize that the answer is not always obvious because our support looks different for every student!

At Adapted Learning Center, we provide individualized, one-to-one educational support. We work with students who have learning differences, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, academic skill gaps, school-related anxiety—or who simply need a more personalized approach to learning.

We begin by getting to know the student. We talk with parents, review relevant records and evaluations, and complete informal assessments to better understand the student’s strengths, challenges, and immediate needs.

From there, we create an individualized intervention plan and thoughtfully match the student with one of our clinicians.

Depending on the student, weekly sessions may focus on:

• Reading, writing, spelling, or math skills
• Homework and assignment support
• Planning, organization, and time management
• Studying and test preparation
• Attention, task initiation, and follow-through
• Assistive technology and accommodations
• Self-advocacy and independence
• Rebuilding confidence around learning

Sometimes we are strengthening foundational skills. Sometimes we are helping a student manage the demands of school. Very often, we are doing both.

We also communicate with parents and, when appropriate, collaborate with teachers and other professionals. We monitor progress and adjust the plan as the student’s needs evolve.

Our goal is to help each student better understand how they learn, develop strategies that work for them, strengthen the skills that are getting in their way, and become a more confident and independent learner.

That is what we do at ALC. 💛
