3. Remedial Approach

     
  1. dEcode™
 
We are the only Centre who offer dEcode™.
 
All our staff are highly trained in the dEcode™ method by Dr. Deborah Chesnie Cooper.
     
   

In addition to the Reading and Math programs, dEcode™ emphasizes:
1. Study skills
2. Time management
3. Organizational strategies
4. Test taking

The dEcode™ Learning Centre, its programs, services and highly trained staff are dedicated to supporting all students in the development of their skills while continuing to increase their sense of confidence and accomplishment.

We liaise with schools directly to coordinate a child's remedial needs and facilitate credits and learning of specific subjects at elementary, high school and university levels.

     
  2. Dr. Deborah Chesnie Cooper
 

Each individual entering the dEcode™ Learning Centre is initially evaluated by Dr. Cooper. Because of her years of experience as a practitioner working directly with individuals manifesting Learning Disabilities, as an administrator of psychoeducational testing and as a researcher, she has become known as a reliable and accurate interpreter of the full battery of psycho-educational testing required.

What this means is that she has the ability to depict and categorize the emotional status of the individual which goes hand-in-hand with any learning difficulty and allows her to incorporate the social and psychological needs into the remedial programming.

     
  3. Our Remedial Approach
   

Remedial education is quite different from tutoring. Remediation is the focus on the development of a learning skill or process, rather than the teaching of subject content. It is not only our awareness of the difference between remediation and tutoring, but it is our methodology and application, fine tuned and tailored to each individual's unique requirements that sets us apart.

For example, dealing with emotional problems not apparently related to school issues is included as part of our approach in helping the individual improve holistically.

Staff and students are closely supervised by Dr. Cooper, an Educational Psychologist.

We have in-depth understanding of the effects of dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder and the differences between Attention Deficit Disorder and Central Auditory Processing Deficit.
