Cooper Learning Center
Remediation Services
People with learning disabilities can learn; they just learn differently. They need to be taught in ways that address those differences.
The Cooper learning Center develops a personalized treatment plan for each child based on his individual needs. For more information about any of these programs, please call (856) 673-4900.
Remediation at the Cooper Learning Center is:
- Direct. Students work one-to-one with trained educators.
- Explicit. Students are active participants in learning how to learn. We help students understand why they learn the way they do.
- Systematic. The programs follow a skills sequence. Each step in the learning builds on previous learning. We use sequences that are appropriate to the individual's age and needs. We use programs that are current and reflect what research has shown is most important to helping students learn.
- Multi-sensory. The instruction involves sight, sound, touch, and movement. Students build words with moveable letters, trace sounds as they say them, and touch felt squares as they recall sequences from a story. Multi-sensory instruction is fun, engaging, and it works.
Programming options include:
- Dyslexia Center
Children with moderate to severe dyslexia typically receive intensive remedial reading instruction as a part of their school day. With certain children, we make arrangements with the school to provide these services in school as well as at our center. (We work with these children under contract with the school district to provide more intensive remediation. We coordinate these contracts with the school’s Child Study Team.) Currently, we have contracts with more than 10 school districts and many private schools in the region.
- Reading Solutions
This after-school reading program incorporates the findings of the National Reading Panel in targeting key areas for success in reading development: Phonemic awareness, Phonological decoding, Fluency
- Rookie Reader Program (for kindergarten-age children)
The Rookie Reader Program provides kindergarten age children with the early reading skills that build a strong reading foundation. This program helps prevent reading problems before they begin. Children learn phonemic decoding skills and phonemic awareness - the most important factors in becoming a good reader - early. Our experienced multi-sensory-trained staff engage children in language-based activities such as: Sound segmentation, Blending, Rhyming
- Summer Reading Camp
Designed for children ages 5 through 12, the Summer Reading Camp focuses on the development of core, fundamental reading skills in a fun atmosphere. The camp helps children who have reading difficulties and provides other children with reading enrichment for the coming school year. It is offered in two four-week sessions.
- Study Skills
Developed by the Landmark College for learning disabilities, study skills help children develop better organizational and test-taking skills. This method is highly structured and "hands-on."
- Writing Skills
Students are taught writing in a structured and multi-sensory manner. Students practice one specific skill at a time, and layer each new skill upon skills they have already mastered.
