The Community HELP Program is dedicated to working with students from grades K-12 who experience difficulties in school. We specialize in students with Specific Learning Disability (S.L.D.) and/or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (A.D.H.D.).
Parents and/or guardians of students who suspect the presence of an S.L.D. and/or A.D.H.D. that has not yet been identified are welcome to consult with the HELP Center’s Diagnostic Services.
Home-schooled students welcome
Community HELP is pleased to work with home-schooled students who have been diagnosed with a S.L.D. and/or A.D.H.D.

LD and ADHD Students
For students with an LD or ADHD*, Community HELP provides one-on-one instruction with qualified teachers. Our students progress as fast as they can or as slowly as they need to. The emphasis is on understanding and skills mastery, not rote memorization. Our administrators and teachers are in regular contact with parents and/or guardians regarding their student’s progress and are willing, if requested by the parent and/or guardian, to work with the student’s school to address needs, discuss interventions, and track progress.
For reading we use the Orton-Gillingham approach. Orton-Gillingham is a structured multisensory phonetic approach to reading that is both time-tested and research-proven.
