Since 1999, Specialty Tutoring has been a welcoming space for children who struggle with learning and need a professional, yet affordable option for help. We are well-established and respected in our area, with a high rate of referrals from local school districts, Fort Wayne Neuropsychology, and many satisfied clients.Specialty Tutoring fills a critical void in our community by meeting a specialized need that the schools and other services cannot. We target four curriculum areas—reading fluency, math, comprehension, and writing—using research-based Lindamood-Bell programs, designed specifically for kids with diagnosed difficulties such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or ADHD. Our unique combination of these proven programs plus targeted, interactive work on cognitive learning skills (memory, attention, processing, reasoning) is an approach not found anywhere else in the area. At the middle and high school ages, we offer homework help and develop independence through study and organizational skills. Financial assistance is available based on need.Specialty Tutoring is a proud partner with the Boys & Girls Club of Fort Wayne, providing small group individualized math and reading tutoring at three sites. We look forward to continuing this awesome opportunity to bring our specialized programs to these kids for many years to come—to nurture in them the skills and confidence they need to overcome barriers that so often prevent them from reaching their true potential.Specialty Tutoring has spent the last 20+ years building a program that works for local families from all income levels. Kids who once experienced fear and anxiety every day at school now know what it feels like to be successful. Parents who anguished over their child's future now see an independent path forward for them. We know how to build the skills and the confidence necessary to turn struggling kids into thriving learners. We are motivated and ready to press forward to secure our impact for years to com
