Specialties
The LearningSuccess™ Model focuses on the unique needs of each child and adult. We present a positive approach that is based on working with each person’s natural gifts and dispositions, rather than applying dysfunctional labels such as A.D.D., Dyslexic, Hyperactive, or Learning Disabled. We show adults and children how to use their Learning Styles and Personal Success Styles to discover their strengths and passions, and to reach academic, career, and life goals.
