WHEN TUTORING DOESN'T WORK
PACE OVERVIEW-
Processing and Cognitive Enhancement
The PACE program is designed to uncover the processing skills that are not sufficient for proper learning, and will train and strengthen them so that they are properly developed. Without these skills, it will be almost impossible for an individual to learn and succeed even with extensive tutoring. Children who lack processing skills tend to avoid their schoolwork because it is difficult, discouraging, and frustrating.
Does your child exhibit one or more of the following behaviors:
- Unable to sit still
- Cannot stay on task for any length of time and is easily distracted
- Avoids work that seems complicated or hard
- Has difficulty comprehending or remembering
- Has problems sounding out words
- Does written work very slowly
- Often fails to complete a task
- Has difficulty copying material
- Often needs instructions repeated
- Has difficulty with reading and spelling
- Makes reversals (confuses "b" and "d")
- Is disorganized and frustrated when studying
- Makes frequent, "careless" errors
PACE can identify and successfully treat learning problems that are often reflected in the above behaviors.
If your child exhibits one or more of these behaviors, please call The Swain Center at (707) 575-1468 or contact us for a complimentary screening to evaluate your child's cognitive processing skills.
