FAQ
We do not diagnose learning disabilities. To diagnose a learning disability you must contact a registered psychologist. If you are interested in obtaining a diagnosis there are a number of people you can contact in BC. Please call our office for further information.
No. Having an official diagnosis is not a requirement to having your child, or yourself tutored at the Learning Differences Centre. We recognize that diagnosing a learning disability is not financially feasible for many families, and for others not something that they seek out. Our main priority is to provide comprehensive services, in an emotionally supportive environment, to children and adults affected by learning difficulties.
The LDC helps people of all ages with their learning needs. The Orton-Gillilngham method is readily adaptable for working with adults.
All of our tutors have taken at least Level 1 of the Orton-Gillingham Progam, an extensive 8 day course. Most of our tutors have also taken Level 2. All of our current tutors are trained teachers or education assistants.
The Learning Differences Centre is looking for enthusiastic, compassionate individuals who want to make a difference, and help those who struggle to succeed.
Successfully completing Level 1 of the Orton-Gillingham Multisensory Program is a prerequisite to being a tutor at the LDC. Contact our office to learn more about training, our mentoring program and tutor incentives.
