Diagnoses under the umbrella of dyslexia

To make our website simpler, we use the terms dyslexia and ADD when speaking about the thought process we work with.  In Canada, dyslexia is often diagnosed as a learning disability.  We have had success working with clients diagnosed with the following:

Why Choose RPA?

Our remedial programs are different from traditional tutoring both in approach and delivery.

The programs are more like educational therapy than tutoring. They are not based on a particular grade level or curriculum. We work on the underlying processes that affect progress with reading, writing, math and focusing.  This program addresses the root cause of learning disabilities by using the natural strengths of the individual’s thinking and learning style. It is fun.

Clients leave with tools that can be used for life-long learning and a greater understanding of how they learn.  This results in increased confidence, ability, and control of their own learning.

Each of our facilitators have received extensive training and show great dedication, care, understanding and patience with their clients.  A client stays with the same facilitator throughout their whole program so there is continuity and maximum understanding of each client’s strengths and needs.

The Gift of Dyslexia How a Gift Can Cause a Disability

At the root of dyslexia, ADD and many other learning disabilities is a gift. It is the ability to think and perceive multi-dimensionally in order to eliminate confusion. These individuals are very intelligent, curious, intuitive and imaginative. They often show great talents in specific areas such as: the arts, designing, engineering, storytelling, piloting vehicles, strategic planning, inventing or spatial awareness. Yet, when they enter school and attempt to read and write, they struggle and can be mislabeled as lazy, daydreamers, slow or undisciplined. The methods used at Rocky Point Academy show them how to recognize and control the mental processes that cause distortions in vision, hearing, movement/balance and time.

The anatomy of a learning disability can be described in a simple step by step format. To see this click here.
