Summer Learning Sessions
Structured summer support for students who need help with writing, organization, assistive technology, executive functioning, academic skills, or school readiness.
Our sessions help students practise practical strategies in a supportive setting, so they can return to school feeling more prepared, independent, and confident.
Summer support can help students:
✓ Build writing, organization, study, and technology strategies.
✓ Practise skills without the same level of school-year pressure.
✓ Prepare for September with clearer routines and more confidence.
✓ Connect support to IEP or assessment recommendations when available.
Who Are These Programs For?
Our summer programs may be a good fit for students who avoid writing, struggle with organization, need support using assistive technology, have difficulty starting or completing schoolwork, or would benefit from a structured academic routine during the summer.
Students do not need a formal diagnosis to participate. If your child has an IEP, psychoeducational assessment, report card, or school recommendations, we can use that information to help guide support.

Assistive Technology & Typing
Recommended for students in Grades 4–8 · Small group · $400 per child · Begins July 13, 2026
This program helps students become more comfortable using technology to support reading, writing, editing, and schoolwork. Many students have assistive technology accommodations but do not yet feel confident using those tools independently.
The focus is not only on learning how to use different tools. Students are supported to understand which tools are helpful, when to use them, and how to use them more independently at school and at home.
This program may be helpful if your child:
Has assistive technology accommodations but rarely uses them
Has difficulty reading longer texts
Struggles to get ideas onto the page
Finds typing slow, tiring, or frustrating
Needs help with editing and proofreading
Has difficulty organizing digital files or assignments
Relies on adults to set up or troubleshoot technology
Students may practise:
Text-to-speech to support reading, comprehension, and editing
Speech-to-text/dictation for brainstorming and drafting
Word prediction and other writing-support tools
Typing fluency, accuracy, and confidence
Digital organization of files, worksheets, notes, and assignments
Troubleshooting common technology challenges
Explaining technology needs to teachers and parents
Program goal: Students develop a better understanding of which tools support their learning and how to use those tools with greater independence.
Writing Skills
Recommended for students in Grades 4–6 · Small group · $400 per child · Begins July 13, 2026
This program supports students who need help planning, organizing, and completing written work. Many students have strong ideas but struggle to get started, organize their thoughts, write enough detail, or revise their work independently.
Our writing sessions are guided by principles from Self-Regulated Strategy Development, also known as SRSD. SRSD-informed instruction helps students learn writing strategies while also building planning, self-monitoring, goal-setting, and independence.
This program may be helpful if your child:
Avoids writing tasks
Says they do not know what to write
Has good ideas verbally but struggles to write them down

Has difficulty organizing ideas into paragraphs

Rushes through writing without checking their work
Students may practise:
Understanding the purpose of a writing task
Brainstorming ideas before writing
Organizing ideas using planning tools or graphic organizers
Writing stronger sentences and paragraphs
Adding details, examples, and explanations
Using checklists to monitor their work

Program goal: Students develop a better understanding of which tools support their learning and how to use those tools with greater independence.
Ready for September
Recommended for students in Grades 7–9 · Small group · $400 per child · Begins August 20, 2026
The return to school can be challenging for students who struggle with organization, time management, planning, or independent work habits. This program helps students practise the executive functioning skills they need to manage school demands more effectively.
The focus is on helping students build practical systems before the school year begins, rather than waiting until they feel overwhelmed.
This program may be helpful if your child:

Has difficulty starting tasks independently

1:1 Academic Intervention
Available for elementary, middle, and high school students · 1:1 format and scheduling based on student needs

This program may be helpful if your child:
Needs support in a specific academic area
Has mixed learning needs that do not fit one group program
Requires individualized pacing
Has recommendations from a psychoeducational assessment or IEP
Needs help rebuilding confidence after a difficult school year
