Academic Coaching Combats Learning Disabilities in Lafayette CA

The East Bay California town Lafayette is known for its quality schools all the way from elementary through high school. The Lafayette based elementary schools are Lafayette, Springhill, Happy Valley, and Burton Valley. Lafayette locals often attend Stanley Middle School, before enrolling at either Acalanes High School or Campolindo.

Despite the excellent quality of education provided by these California public schools, children who struggle with learning disabilities such as ADD, ADHD, and executive functioning disorder may still slip through the cracks. This does not indicate a lack of intelligence or non-caring parents. Learning how to manage and work with these disabilities takes time, consistency, and individualized attention the greater school district cannot currently provide. Due to California’s limited budget and other strains placed on the public schools in Lafayette, there are often not enough resources to attend to each student’s unique needs.
