How We Support
DYSLEXIA
Dyslexic language learners may face challenges in language acquisition due to difficulties with phonological processing, reading, and spelling. These challenges can impact their ability to decode new words, understand written instructions, and retain vocabulary. However, with appropriate support, such as multisensory teaching methods, assistive technology, and structured practice, they can overcome these barriers and achieve success in learning a new language.
​
How We Support Dyslexic Learners:​
-
Tutors trained in BDA-recommended methods
-
Patience with slower processing speeds

SPECIFIC Learning Difficulties (SPLD)
-
Dyscalculia
May impact the ability to grasp grammatical patterns, verb conjugations, and other elements that rely on sequencing or rule-based systems. Learners may struggle with identifying consistent structures in syntax or understanding positional word order. -
Dysgraphia
Can affect handwriting, spelling, and written fluency in a new language. This includes difficulty with letter formation, slow writing speed, and challenges expressing ideas in writing, which can affect both accuracy and confidence. -
Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
Makes it difficult to distinguish between similar sounds, process spoken instructions, or follow rapid speech. This can create barriers in listening tasks, pronunciation practice, and verbal comprehension, especially in real-time conversation. -
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)
Classroom or learning environments with loud noises, bright lighting, or visual clutter may become overwhelming. This can affect attention, comfort, and information retention, especially during group sessions or audio-based activities.
