Learning Differences

We seek the educational strategies to fulfill a student’s potential.

An estimated one in seven people in the United States are affected by learning differences that influence how they receive, process, or express information. In addition, attention disorders such as ADHD challenge an estimated 3-10 percent of the population. These issues can have a profound impact on families, yet many parents are unaware of the variety of educational approaches available to support students.

For many families, their child is the first time they have encountered common learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, verbal and auditory processing disorders and nonverbal learning disorders. Bertram Group consultants frequently help families whose children have mild to moderate learning differences. We make recommendations for summer and after-school programs as well as schools. Should a family seek help with diagnosis or clarification, we work closely with related professionals as needed. As always, we strive to recognize the whole child—strengths, as well as challenges—to promote that student’s academic, social, and emotional growth.
