About The Science of Learning Academy
Our Philosophy
At The Science of Learning Academy, we are transforming education by closing the gap for struggling readers through research-based, individualized interventions. With strategies based in neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and language development, we target the root causes of reading challenges—whether in language processing, executive functioning, or both—to ensure complete remediation. Our linguistically-integrated, multisensory, structured approach has successfully helped thousands of students overcome dyslexia and language-based learning disorders, proving that when given the right support, every student can achieve academic remediation. Through continuous progress monitoring, expert-led instruction, and in daily collaboration with speech-language pathologists, we empower students to use strategies, build confidence, foster independence, and utilize the skills necessary for lifelong success.
