How we teach
Visualizing & Verbalizing® develops the ability to build a mental picture from language, then put that picture back into words. It strengthens the working memory and abstract thinking that reading comprehension, listening comprehension, and written expression all rely on.
Sessions are one-to-one and multisensory, and the program is available on intensive, partial intensive, and flexible schedules. Language processing affects kids socially as well as academically, and we see changes in both.
Whether your child has a diagnosis, a struggle no one has named, or simply wants to get ahead, we can help. The language and comprehension assessment is usually where we start.
