Students with Disabilities
and Learning Struggles
By Toni Hager  2006

Can Learn Christian Academy is a private school with expertise with disabled and struggling learners with all types of labels from Fall Through the Crack Kids, Learning Disabled, Dyslexia, Short Attention Span, Perceptual Delays, Slow Learner, ADD/HD; to those with Brain Damage such as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (AKA Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Effects), Moebius Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism and Mentally Retarded; to those with behavior struggles such as Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Attachment Disorder (AD or RAD), and adopted/Foster Care emotional roller coaster.

Our small staff has degrees in Psychology, Education (regular and Special Education), BSN (4 yr degree nurse), and Certifications in Neurodevelopment, Oral Motor, Feeding, different neuroeducation subjects, Attachment, grief/ loss and trauma, and Continuing Education Credits.

What makes us different?  An INEP (Individual Neurodevelopment-Education Plan) is written for each student, even the non-struggling, after given a Neurodevelopment evaluation to assess the functional levels of the CNS (central nervous system).  A new evaluation and INEP design every 4 months and the therapeutic program modified and adjusted as the brain reorganizes itself.

Each day our students have a brain workout stimulating the lower levels of the brain helping it reorganize itself, creating new neural pathways/connections eliminating or improving learning, attending, behavior, attachment struggles and many disabilities.

Class sizes are small so students aren’t distracted or over stimulated as easily.  We ‘teach to the brain’ with proven multi-sensory techniques and individual attention.  Students are individuals; if one method doesn’t work we have plenty of tricks ‘up our sleeves’!

At this time we are unable to enroll violent, aggressive and children acting out sexually.

WELCOME!!
