The Fort Wayne Center for Learning provides effective and high intensity one-to-one reading, spelling, writing, math, comprehension, academic performance management and specific subject instruction. Intensive: Intensive instruction allows for over-practice and over-learning so newly acquired skills become learning habits. Individual: One-on-one instruction focuses on a child’s specific area of weakness. The pace of instruction is determined by the child’s progress. Intervention: The use of research-based, scientifically proven intervention programs can substantially reduce the need for special education services in higher grades. Independence: While instruction serves to fill gaps in knowledge and build academic skills, the ultimate goal is for the child to be an independent learner.
