The story behind Early Life

My sister has a documented math disability and it

has been a struggle for my parents to find her he help she needs. Thus, my father and step mother bore the Early Life Clinic out of the frustrations theyve experienced as parents. They knew she struggled in school but could not find anyone to help her. She went through numerous tutoring programs but could not find the answers. So they decided to come up with their own.

About Early Life

Helping Parents find answers

Help children with or without learning disabilities

reach their academic goals.

Early life strongly believes that you (the parent) are

the expert of your own child so they work closely with the parent as well as the child.

Step.Testing

Dr. Frances Thompson Conducts a series of

standardized test on the child to see where the issue is coming from.
When Dr. Thompson figures out where the child is

having difficulty, a report is written with the child's strengths and deficits.

 Dr. Gary Thompson is the Education Advocate.

Step 2Helping Parents

His role is to help guide parents in the direction that can best help the child learn.
The two most often steps taken are either and IEP

or the client is recommended to the clinics tutoring program.

IEP
The child may qualify for an IEP (individualized

learning plan) in order to attain accommodations that give the child an equal chance at academic achievement.
Due to time and financial reasons, children are

required to follow along standardized test. This is fine for many children, but those with learning issues or cognitive deficits and IEP can be critical for their success.
(Dr. Gary Thompson and Early Life's attorneys assists parents though the IEP process)

Cognitive Tutoring Program The Child can enter into Early Life's torturing program
that follows along the PASS theory
Planning (ability to plan out and solve) Attention(ability to focus and restrict distractions) Simultaneous(ability to understand how smaller

parts pictures)

fit into bigger

Successive(ability to understand liner Order)

This program works from bottom to top to help children academically instead of just working on concepts like reading, math, etc.
