Basic Skills Needed for Academic Success:

  • Auditory Processing

  • Auditory Memory

  • Auditory Decoding

  • Visual Tracking

  • Visual Memory

  • Visual Imagery

  • Visual Discrimination

  • Visual Spatial

  • Eye Hand Coordination

  • sensory system

  • balance  

​

Kidz Connect Recognizes the need to get to the source of ones learning difficulty to maximize long term academic benefits. Kidz Connect prides ourselves in incorporating academic needs within our therapy center.  We know the gains of looking deeper and treating the source. At kidzConnect we feel academic and learning difficulties are essential to be addressed in a clinic with Occupational therapists and Speech Pathologist. The above mentioned skills necessary for learning are all treated by Occupational Therapists and/or a Speech Pathologist.

​

Tutoring and drilling frustrates the child if the underlying issues are not addressed. Kidz Connect is thrilled to integrate therapy into our academic programs in order to  ensure long term academic success.
