Is the MAP Program Right for My Child?
The MAP program is designed specifically to allow students with learning differences, in grades nine through 12, an opportunity to explore their true learning potential through multisensory and individualized course work with trained professionals. The exciting thing is that students in the greater Triad area no longer have to attend boarding schools or travel great distances to gain access to the education they deserve. Students within the MAP program take advantage of top quality educators, extensive use of assistive technology, and opportunities to enjoy breaks, meals, clubs, and co-curricular activities with their peers at FCDS. Below are a few of the characteristics of students who study in the MAP program:
- diagnosed learning disability
- average to high intelligence
- sequencing and logic are weaknesses
- deficits in writing, reading, or mathematical calculation
- poor spelling
- specific visual deficits such as letter reversals and jumbled writing with poor spacing
- need for small class settings (max: 3 students) and individualized attention
- similar sounds are confused
- expressive language is weak
- retaining information is difficult
- response time to recall or present information is below average speed
- paying attention is difficult
- affinity toward one particular subject area
- frustration brought on by a lack of academic or social success
- low self-esteem and/or self-confidence due to a lack of academic or social success
- social cues often missed or not understood
- directionality problems
- disorganized
- impulsive
Each student is unique. Their brains are all wired differently and each learns in a different way. Please contact us at the MAP program to discuss each student individually as we continue to meet each student's needs and help them become life-long learners.
