All learning plans or assessments start with an intake. In this one hour meeting, a specialist reviews materials and through an interview builds an overview of a learner’s profile and current needs. One portion of the appointment is with the learner, and if applicable, part is with the parent. A brief written outline of recommendations is sent later. An Intake and written recommendations are not an assessment, nor are they intended for use by an institution for purposes of evaluating accommodations.

Assessment

*Call DLS to Schedule an Assessment: (831) 429-5987.* A DLS Developmental Educational Assessment is comprehensive learning assessment using interviews, standardized measurements, analysis, observation, and more. The report is a rich, valuable guide to individuals, parents, schools, and other professionals.

DLS Clinical Developmental Learning Specialists understand each learner's unique process of learning and can navigate a path to success in school and at work. Highly skilled in the practice of educational therapy, our specialists offer a broad range of research-based methods and strategies that make learning more efficient and more enjoyable.

Tutoring

*Call your tutor directly to book your appointment(s).* Expert tutors support learning in a variety of subject areas and levels. Prior to scheduling tutoring, a DLS Intake or review of previous support documents will help determine whether content tutoring is the most effective support for a learner.

Study Hall

*Call your tutor to book an appointment(s).* Studying isn't easy and it isn't automatic, but it is a lifelong tool worth developing. A Study Hall after school can add 60-90 minutes of independent study time, guided and supported with the help of a tutor. (Students often add study hall before or after tutoring or educational therapy sessions, or around exam time for extra support.)
