Both comprehensive diagnostic evaluations need to be completed
prior to acceptance into the Center's reading and writing
development program. This portion of the
program is conducted on a one-to-one basis by a clinician who holds
a master's degree or higher and is a certified teacher in the State
of New York.
Based on the reading, writing and related language arts
difficulties noted in the diagnostic report, a program of
improvement will be established with the reading
clinician. The clinician addresses the problems indicated in the
report and strives to help the student overcome his/her reading and
writing difficulties. Instruction
typically focuses around reading comprehension, word recognition,
vocabulary development, writing and oral language development. The
duration of the corrective program is contingent upon the type and
severity of the student's problems with oral or written
literacy.
Clinicians arrange sessions, meeting with students on an
individual basis, usually one or two hours a week. These sessions
are scheduled Monday–Friday (after school and/or Saturday. Progress
reports are generally furnished on a quarterly basis or at the end
of a contract term.
