Consumer Critique: Learning Succes

Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.

If you have a child with a learning disability, it can be hard to watch them struggle in school, especially if they don't have the right support system in place. Many times, students' struggles aren't a direct result of their disability, but rather a matter of building blocks being missing as a consequence of the disability. A child with ADHD, for example, is perfectly capable of comprehending math, but may have missed a crucial foundational number literacy building block along the way and needs it to be built up to provide that stable foundation for advanced math.

Learning Success is a program that helps build absolutely foundational skills in students with learning disabilities. It's targeted for kids with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADD/ADHD, sensory processing disorders, or disabilities in math, reading, or writing. And it's accessible. Instead of getting the whole curriculum at once, you get each day's activity, one at a time, so you aren't overwhelmed with information.

Some of the activities you are asked to do might not necessarily be what you'd expect, since it might seem that there is no actual learning involved when you, for example, read a word and ask them to identify which one you said, or point along with colored arrows. But that's the point of the program - it's not to work on the academic skills your student is learning right now, but to build up the foundation of what's been missed, or what's more challenging to do based on your child's disability.

The program is a 60-day program and comes with a money back guarantee. The blog has tips on a variety of learning disabilities, and is helpful even without the course. You can also find tips on the Learning Success Facebook page. The money-back guarantee means you aren't out anything if the program doesn't work for your child, so what do you have to lose?
