Your Child Doesn't Need to Struggle
TOTEM Learning Center and Day School is a leading provider of
Educational Therapy for students who struggle or have been
diagnosed with learning disabilities such as Dyslexia, ADHD,
or Autism, and other disorders that slow or otherwise hinder
educational development. Using The Orton-Gillingham direct, structured, and multi-sensory
approach with science-based curricula; each child’s program is individually designed to
remediate or enhance independent learning skills.
Early, effective intervention enables students to achieve academic success.
Our goal is for our students to successfully return to their regular
classroom instruction.
Students with learning disabilities need alternatives to traditional educational
models and settings. They learn differently and therefore must be taught differently in order for them
to achieve success in their regular classroom setting.
We are committed to providing a comfortable, relaxed environment where students can feel at ease while learning.
Individualized Instruction
Each program is customized
to provide educational therapy that matches each child’s individual need. Skills such as reading, writing,
spelling, grammar, fluency, and comprehension are taught simultaneously to avoid gaps in student's learning
and literacy skills.
TOTEM offers private (1:1) instruction in the Learning Center and small group (3:1) instruction in the
Day School.
Research Based Curricula
TOTEM uses a wide selection of nationally acclaimed, research-based curricula in all
subject areas to assure our students achieve success.
Progress Monitoring
TOTEM provides a range of comprehensive educational assessments administered
by our highly trained professionals. A standardized assessment is given to determine
the course of educational therapy. Then students are benchmarked three times
a year and progress is monitored frequently during instruction using
AIMSweb –
a state-of-the art progress monitoring program. This assures parents and staff
that students are making adequate gains.
