  • TUTORING SERVICES
    • Students age five through adulthood are taught one-to-one or in small groups by a certified special education teacher with additional training in reading intervention.  Direct and explicit instruction is delivered one to three times per week, based on the availability of services. Cost varies, depending on DS ACT membership status and need, but the basic hourly rate is $60/hour.  Scholarships may be available.
  • EVALUATION SERVICES
    • Parents and school districts who are seeking independent evaluation of a student’s reading program are provided with a comprehensive report that includes the present level of performance and recommendations for improved instruction.
  • PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
    • We offer individual and group professional development programming and short-term mentoring support to school personnel tailored their needs.
