To determine how best to help each student, we develop specific instructional
goals. This process begins when one of our directors first sees the student for
an educational evaluation. If another professional has recently administered an
evaluation, we use the findings of that evaluation and the results of a brief
assessment to design the student's educational goals. The director determines
the student's learning patterns and skill levels in several or all of these
areas:
Language
-
sound awareness
-
rapid naming
-
auditory memory
-
vocabulary
-
grammar skill and sense of word order
-
phrasing
-
listening comprehension
Reading
-
phonics
-
sight word recognition
-
reading with fluency and speed
-
comprehension
Spelling
-
spelling sight and phonetic words in isolation
-
spelling words in sentences
-
spelling during daily written work
Writing
-
handwriting neatness and speed
-
mechanical correctness
-
syntax (phrasing)
-
thought organization
-
fluency
-
topic development and clarity of expression
Mathematics
-
math concepts
-
math facts
-
computations
-
word problems and math reasoning
-
fluency and accuracy
Organizational, study & time management skills
-
organization of school materials
-
management of homework and study time
-
reading fluency and comprehension
-
note-taking
-
regular review of material
-
use of strategies most effective for different assignments
-
work efficiency
After the evaluation, the director meets with the parents to discuss the
results and the recommended instructional program. If the student attends our
after-school tutorial program, the director or the student's teacher at Manus
Academy may also communicate with the school staff to coordinate the efforts of
the parents, the child's school and Manus Academy. For qualified
students in need of specific school services or accommodations, Manus Academy
helps the parents and school staff develop and monitor a 504 Accommodation Plan
or an Individual Educational Plan (IEP). |
