We love this school! It has helped tremendously with not only LD issues but social and emotional issues as well. they are always there to point you in a direction, add a thought, or help in whatever ways they can. It has made a tremendous change in my ability to learn and socially interact with my grandson!

I really cannot say enough good things about this school. The teachers here are specially trained to teach children with various learning disabilites, and they are able to adapt their methods to the individual child to optimize the results. My wife and I discovered LMA when our daughter was in the second grade after private school that we previously thought might help told us that they were not capable of helping her. After enrolling at LMA, the results were amazing. She stayed enrolled until we moved away in the middle of 6th grade, and our greatest regret in moving was having to leave LMA.This is the place where other schools send their teachers to learn how to handle LD kids. They are the equivalent to subspecialists in medicine, and they are worth every penny and much more.

Our son started here this year and the transformation has been dramatic. Where he was a "deer in the headlights" at our local elementary he now is learning at a pace he can handle, talking about school and really blossoming. If you have a child with LD and or ADHD I would highly recommend it.
