Assessment and Program Questions
What does Meadowbrook Educational Services (MES) do? We help people gain the skills and abilities to read, write, listen and communicate. We assess for missing foundational skills and concepts that create confusion in academic studies. We then design a program to resolve confusions and develop the required skills for academic or professional success.
Do you test for or diagnose conditions like dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, autism, ADD etc.? No. We are not medical doctors nor are we interested in labeling you or your student. Many of the areas we are assessing are also listed in symptom profiles for those conditions. For instance, it is widely known that most people diagnosed as Learning Disabled, Autistic, PDD-NOS Dyslexic etc have sequential memory spans below the norm. We will tell you if the memory span is adequate for your student's age and design a program to rectify it - we leave diagnosing up to the medical field.
Do you take insurance? No. We are private pay.
Do you tutor (math, English, science etc.) No. We are specialists with the foundations for academic success. If you need subject based tutoring there are many tutoring services in the Spokane area.
Are you a school? No.
How much does it cost to do the MES program? Because each person is unique, each program is custom designed and varies in length and content. After the assessment we can discuss program costs.
