Penguins and kingfishers both like to catch fish but they go about it in different ways.
Formal education can sometimes feel like a penguin being asked to fly or a kingfisher being told to waddle.
Have you ever felt this way? Has your child? Has a student in your classroom?
Penguin or kingfisher, Mosaic creates complete education solutions for those who learn outside the box.
1) Consultation to identify the most effective educational path for students who learn differently. Mosaic is familiar with a variety of public, private and alternative/gifted education options as well as remediation models, including the Orton Gillingham Method, Arrowsmith Cognitive Exercises, Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) and others. It is crucial to recognize that individuals who have learning disabilities, social difficulties or ADHD often have talents in other areas of life that can be highlighted, encouraged and supported.
2) Ongoing Executive Skill Support for students in late elementary, high school and in young adult transition. This means, helping a student understand instructions, get started with their work, keep on top of their assignments, resist distractions and plan their time to reduce anxiety.
3) Consultation and workshops to schools.
