Educational Services for College Age

Learning Strategy Instruction for college students is designed to develop more efficient study strategies to improve learning, review and test performance. The increase in quantity and complexity along with the elimination of grades for homework, class participation and projects can make the adjustment to college difficult. The sessions are designed to meet the individual needs of the college student and are scheduled as individual sessions. Typically, four sessions are scheduled and the strategies that have an evidence base of support are individualized to the needs of the student (fee: $125/hour).

Learning Strategy Training plus Monitoring is available for students who have had a very difficult transition to college or who are on academic probation and need more structure and guidance. Students are taught note-taking strategies that improve performance and the notes are e-mailed weekly for review to make sure students are staying on-task, are taking efficient notes and are current with assignments (fee: $400/semester).

Getting Ready for College will teach strategies for studying, note-taking, time management and organization to ensure success at the college level. Class sessions will be announced and usually are held the first week in August. Individual sessions may also be scheduled (fee: $125/hour).

Organization and time management have been known to predict success at the college level. Sessions are scheduled to design individualized programs that support organization/time management and incorporate the concepts of advance organization, authentic visual support and external organization into the plan (fee: $125/hour).

PC Software instruction is designed to teach students to use a software program that structures notetaking and organizes the notes into two-column or flashcard formats using specific procedures that have been shown to improve learning and test-taking. The student is taught to use the format of the text to guide selection of critical information, support focus of attention and produce cumulative study systems. Sessions are scheduled on an individual basis and can cover all subject areas or be limited to specific subjects. Fees will be established on an individual basis based on time involved.

Individual consultation is available for parent consultation, self-monitoring skill development, time management and organization.
