For these students, basic accommodations are rarely enough.  The critical question facing families and schools isn’t simply how to provide supplemental help, but whether the student’s entire educational ecosystem is fundamentally engineered to support how their brain processes information ## What is a “Pull-Out” Intervention Model for Dyslexia? A “pull-out” intervention model for dyslexia support is when a student leaves their general education classroom for a brief window of specialized reading instruction before returning to a standard environment for the rest of ELA, math, science, and social studies classes. While well-intentioned, this fragmented approach creates significant barriers. It forces the student to constantly shift between conflicting learning environments. It leaves them without specialized language scaffolds during the rest of the academic day. It treats dyslexia as an isolated reading issue rather than a comprehensive, language-based processing style. ## How is Cambridge School’s Learning Approach Different? At Cambridge School, we believe that effective instruction cannot be treated as a separate, isolated segment of a student’s day. True progress occurs when evidence-based practices are woven seamlessly into every single class period. Our model redefines dyslexia support through five core pillars: #### 1. 100% Specialized Faculty vs. Fragmented Help Specialized reading strategies should not disappear when a student enters a science or history classroom. At Cambridge School, all faculty members are trained or certified in Wilson® Language instruction. This collective expertise ensures that specialized language support, structured vocabulary decoding, and deep comprehension strategies extend across the entire academic day. #### 2. School-Wide Structured Literacy vs. One-Size-Fits-All We replace generic interventions with explicit, systematic, diagnostic, and cumulative Structured Literacy instruction. By continually assessing and targeting the exact underlying phonological and language-processing skills that make reading difficult, we build a reliable foundation while actively leveraging each student’s intellectual strengths. #### 3. Embedded Wraparound Support vs. Segmented Services Dyslexia rarely exists in a vacuum. It frequently co-occurs with executive function variances, written expression difficulties, or math challenges. Instead of requiring families to piece together a patchwork of external therapists and tutors, we integrate executive function coaching and multisensory math frameworks directly into our daily classroom structures. #### 4. Dedicated Social-Emotional Support vs. Academics Only Years of academic frustration can take an immense emotional toll, often manifesting as school anxiety, task avoidance, or diminished self-esteem. We intentionally incorporate social-emotional and social cognition frameworks into our curriculum. This proactive approach helps students build emotional intelligence, internalize self-advocacy skills, and form healthy, positive peer connections. #### 5. Embracing “Differences” vs. Labeling “Disabilities” Language matters. At Cambridge School, we explicitly shift the conversation away from what a student cannot do, focusing instead on how that student learns best. When students understand their own cognitive profiles, they stop viewing themselves through the lens of a diagnosis and begin recognizing their own capability. ## Putting Potential First A child’s learning difference is a single facet of their identity, not the defining boundary of their potential. Waiting for a student’s academic confidence to erode before seeking a comprehensive alternative can delay crucial developmental milestones. True dyslexia support means creating an environment where curiosity, creativity, and intellect are positioned at the center of the educational experience.  We invite you to reach out to our team, tour our campus, and discover firsthand what a school intentionally built for unique minds can achieve.

Instead, cognitive differences impact how individuals organize their thoughts, manage their time, and process frustration across all settings—both in the classroom and at home. When a student spends hours staring at a blank page, struggles to track multi-step instructions, or misplaces vital materials, it is easy for observers to misinterpret the root cause. However, what looks like procrastination is often a barrier in task initiation. What looks like carelessness is frequently a working memory bottleneck. And what looks like a lack of motivation is usually a student who is simply exhausted from the immense cognitive energy required just to keep up. ## The Role of Executive Function Executive function skills act as the brain’s internal management system. They allow individuals to set goals, plan details, focus attention, remember instructions, juggle multiple tasks, and regulate emotions. For students navigating[ language-based learning differences](https://www.thecambridgeschool.org/dyslexia-adhd/) alongside attention complexities, vulnerabilities in these areas make standard school environments incredibly taxing. When a student manages both reading obstacles and attention variances, the cognitive load doubles. They aren’t just working hard to decode text; they are simultaneously fighting to sustain focus and keep their thoughts structured. ## Shifting From “Try Harder” to Strategic Support Whether you are an educator designing a lesson plan or a parent supporting a child at home, the solution to executive dysfunction is never simply asking a student to “try harder.” The key lies in creating an environment built on explicit strategy instruction, predictable structure, and deep empathy. To effectively empower these learners, our collective approach should focus on a few key shifts: **Externalize Structural Demands:** Use visual checklists, predictable schedules, and timers rather than relying solely on verbal reminders. This helps students map out expectations clearly. **Scaffold Task Initiation:** When a student is overwhelmed by the starting point of a project, help them break down the initial barrier. Focus on completing just the first sentence or organizing the first required tool to build momentum. **Acknowledge Cognitive Fatigue:** Recognize that a learning difference requires massive mental stamina. Validating a student’s exhaustion prevents shame and keeps them engaged in the learning process. ## Supporting the Whole Learner at Cambridge School At Cambridge School, we recognize that supporting a student means looking at the complete picture. Executive function isn’t something we expect students to figure out on their own through trial and error; it is an active, structural part of our daily curriculum. We seamlessly integrate specialized literacy instruction and multisensory math with explicit executive function coaching and social-emotional growth. By connecting these pieces into one cohesive school day, we build a predictable framework where students can safely practice these skills. Our ultimate goal is to guide every student toward becoming a confident, independent learner who understands how their brain works and possesses the self-advocacy tools to thrive.

It’s a different way of thinking.'](https://www.thecambridgeschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/dyslexia-is-not-a-weakness-1024x576.jpg "dyslexia is not a weakness") # **Celebrating the Power of Different Minds: The Strengths of Dyslexia** When we talk about dyslexia, the conversation often centers on what a child struggles to do—reading, spelling, or decoding text. But dyslexia is not a weakness; it is a different, often extraordinary way of thinking. This October, in honor of **Dyslexia Awareness Month**, we want to shift our focus to where it truly belongs: on the incredible cognitive advantages that come with learning differently. Dyslexia does not define a student’s potential. It is simply one part of how they experience, interact with, and ultimately shape the world. ## The Unique Strengths of a Dyslexic Mind Dyslexic individuals naturally process information differently, which frequently gives them an edge in areas that traditional schooling might overlook. When provided with the right environment, dyslexic students routinely demonstrate remarkable abilities: **Exceptional Problem-Solving:** They are natural “big-picture” thinkers who excel at seeing connections that others might miss. **Vivid Creativity:** Many possess highly developed three-dimensional thinking, allowing them to visualize complex concepts, design innovative solutions, and excel in the arts and sciences. **Strong Narrative Reasoning:** They often have an outstanding capacity for storytelling, remembering experiences, and constructing engaging narratives. **Deep Empathy and Observation:** Because they navigate the world with a unique perspective, dyslexic students are frequently highly observant and deeply empathetic to the experiences of others. ## How to Empower Your Child at Home Students can easily feel overwhelmed when facing tasks that don’t come naturally to them. With the right tools and mindset, you can help your child discover their own unique superpowers. Here are a few ways to foster confidence at home: **Notice and Name Their Strengths:** Make it a point to explicitly call out what they do well, whether it’s building a complex Lego structure, solving a puzzle, or showing kindness. **Celebrate Progress, Not Just Perfection:** Celebrate every victory, no matter how small. Learning is a journey, and stamina is built through encouragement. **Set Realistic, Step-by-Step Goals:** Break large tasks into manageable milestones so your child can experience regular bursts of accomplishment. **Normalize Struggle:** Share your own daily difficulties and mistakes. Show them that facing a challenge is a normal part of life, not a sign of failure. **Teach Self-Advocacy:** Help your child understand exactly what dyslexia is. When they know how their brain works, they can confidently ask for the tools and accommodations they need to succeed. ## Unlocking Potential at Cambridge School Every child deserves an education that recognizes their intellect before their diagnosis. At Cambridge School, we were founded on the belief that a warm, nurturing, and individualized environment is essential for children who learn differently. We don’t just accommodate dyslexia; we build upon the inherent strengths of our students, giving them the academic, personal, and social skills required to thrive. Dyslexia does not have to hold your child back. With the right community and support, it can be the launchpad for their greatest successes.

Below are typical student learning profiles. ### **Lower School (Grades K-4)** The typical Cambridge Lower School student struggles with the fundamental concepts of reading, writing and/or math. While the nature and degree of the challenges vary from student to student, it can range from poor letter and number recognition and formation, to the inability to decode connected sounds. After initial diagnostic assessment, students are placed in small groups based on specific areas of need, to receive structured literacy and math instruction. ### **Middle School (Grades 5-8)** Each student’s learning profile is increasingly unique at this level. Middle School students who are newly admitted to Cambridge can present with a range of challenges from poor decoding and spelling skills, to higher level language comprehension challenges, weak executive function, math difficulties, and/or insufficient written expression skills. At this level, diagnostic assessment is critical to allow for the differential academic instruction that each student personally needs to succeed. ### **Upper School (Grades 9-12)** As with the Middle School student, the learning profile of the Upper School student varies significantly. Some students enter the Upper School as dysfluent readers while others are challenged by attention, executive function, processing, math, and/or written expression. Each student’s unique learning profile is identified and supported across the school day. For students who are twice exceptional, Cambridge teachers effectively address their learning challenges while also nurturing the areas in which they excel. “ The teachers are highly educated, thoughtful, and nurturing.

Students with language-based learning differences require well-organized, focused and consistent, multisensory phonics instruction. We specialize in helping students who are struggling readers (dyslexia), have ADHD (executive function challenges), writing challenges (dysgraphia) and math challenges (dyscalculia). We believe students have learning differences not learning disabilities. Cambridge School was founded on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity for an excellent education. We are committed to providing that education in a warm, nurturing and individualized learning environment for children who learn differently. Our mission is to prepare each student with the necessary academic, personal and social skills to succeed. ### How do I know if my child has a learning difference? If your child has a learning difference, some signs may be: - Difficulty playing with sounds in words (rhyming, blending, breaking words apart) - Trouble connecting letters to their sounds - Struggles to sound out new words or recognize sight words - Slow or choppy reading - Difficulty understanding or retelling stories - Trouble identifying main ideas or key details - Challenges expressing ideas through writing - Frequent spelling errors or difficulty spelling words as they sound --- ### Is Cambridge the right fit for my child?

According to the [International Dyslexia Association](https://dyslexiaida.org/definition-of-dyslexia/), dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. ### Signs of Dyslexia Recognizing key signs of dyslexia is the first step to further supporting your child. Some common signs of dyslexia include: Trouble remembering names of letters Visual letter confusion  p/q  or b/d Substituting words when reading “house” for “home” Struggling to decode familiar words without a picture Spelling challenges Avoids reading aloud While dyslexia is the most common type of reading difference, there are also other types of reading challenges that fall under the category of  **struggling readers**.  They often show these same symptoms. Through testing, a neuropsychologist can formally diagnose a student with dyslexia. However, intervention time can be lost while waiting for a formal diagnosis, and the best intervention for reading challenges of all types is a structured reading program. At Cambridge we use the Wilson® Reading System, an Orton-Gillingham-based, explicit, phonics program. --- ## What is dysgraphia? Dysgraphia is a learning difference that impacts a student’s written expression and fine motor skills. ### Signs of dysgraphia [Signs of dysgraphia](https://childmind.org/article/understanding-dysgraphia/#what-are-the-signs-of-dysgraphia) can present in multiple ways, usually within two categories: motor weakness and cognitive challenges, and students may experience difficulties from one or both categories.  Some writing challenges you might see: A tight pencil grip Trouble with letter formation Difficulty keeping writing between lines A marked discrepancy between expressing ideas verbally vs. expressing them in writing Limited written output due to challenges planning, structuring, and organizing writing --- ## What is dyscalculia?

Symptoms are generally put into two groups: inattention symptoms, and hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms.

This critical period of learning lays the groundwork for future cognitive and social development. Customized academic paths support each child’s growth, building upon strengths and addressing areas of challenge. ## **Middle School (Grades 5-8)** Our Middle School programs are carefully designed to further students’ literacy and math abilities while continuing to incorporate academic strengths and personal interests. Middle School students work to develop more abstract, critical thinking skills as well as increased awareness of work production and executive function skills.  Social and emotional development at this age is critical and we work to promote self-awareness, positive self-image, respect for differences, and an appreciation of the larger community. ## **Upper School** **(Grades 9-12)** The Cambridge Upper School takes a distinctive and engaging approach to teaching high school level college preparatory coursework. Housed in its own 2-story building on the Cambridge campus,  the US provides a rigorous curriculum that helps students develop advanced academic skills and stimulate intellectual curiosity. Cambridge teachers effectively support twice-exceptional students by addressing their learning challenges while also fostering their strengths. To complement their academic coursework, students choose from a variety of electives, including performing and visual arts, athletics, home economics, or technology.  **College Placement:** The college placement program is a highlight of our supportive Upper School community. The students’ postsecondary planning is integrated into the curriculum beginning in ninth grade. The classroom pathway goes from Metacognition, to Careers, to Explorations, and culminates with Senior Capstone. The goal of each course is to find what brings each student joy, encourage them to find opportunities to explore that emotion, and to identify pathways to postsecondary success. **The Cambridge Upper School is proud of its 100% college placement.** --- ### [K-12 Academic Programs & Curriculum | Cambridge School NJ](https://www.thecambridgeschool.org/academics/) **Published:** October 23, 2015 **Author:** Cambridge School **Excerpt:** Cambridge School students are provided with a full curriculum in addition to their reading, writing and language skills classes.

We use structured, multisensory approaches that engage all learners, ensuring that reading becomes an accessible and empowering skill. In writing, our curriculum emphasizes the writing process, with targeted instruction in spelling, sentence structure, grammar, and organization. By breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps, students build confidence in expressing their thoughts clearly and effectively. Our holistic approach fosters not only literacy development but also the self-esteem and resilience that are essential for lifelong learning and success.

Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. **## 7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?** ***In Short:*** *We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.* We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment. **## 8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?** ***In Short:*** *We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.* We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section “[HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?](#contact)“ below. However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent. **Opting out of marketing and promotional communications: You can unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send, replying “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE” to the SMS messages that we send, or by contacting us using the details provided in the section “[HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?](#contact)“ below. You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you — for example, to send you service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted.

If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services. If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at cpeters@thecambridgeschool.org. **## 10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES** Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice. California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time. **## 11. DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?** ***In Short:*** *If you are a resident of New Jersey, you may have the right to request access to and receive details about the personal information we maintain about you and how we have processed it, correct inaccuracies, get a copy of, or delete your personal information.

My child has grown in a way that he never would have at another school due to the excellent individualized and warm environment. The teachers are highly educated, thoughtful, and nurturing. They provide rigorous academic challenges, as well as the tools and strategies needed to meet those challenges. I am so pleased. – Lower School Parent ### Thank you to every Cambridge teacher for teaching my girls to: read, write, comprehend, not be afraid of a math problem, advocate for themselves, be a friend, and be kind. Also, for always being patient and kind to them. Most of all thank you for loving my children like they were your own. There is no other school in the world that would do that. – Middle School Parent ### I vividly remember being reassured when Deb would tell us about Cambridge alum excelling and thriving in high school and beyond. Zac was accepted into Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, the smallest in the Ivy League. My many thanks to everyone at the Cambridge School who took my failing, insecure child and helped him flourish. His success is your success. – Graduate Parent ### I wish every school was like Cambridge School. Every child would benefit from its warm and inviting environment. They stress kindness and being respectful to others. They encourage students and I cannot say enough good things about it. The growth in my daughter’s reading and writing is unbelievable. – Middle School Parent ### Our daughter was a vibrant, confident, spirited child until she entered first grade. In her first year of public school, she became quiet, sad, lost her spunk, and hated going to school.  This is when she was diagnosed with dyslexia. When we walked through Cambridge’s doors, I completely forgot how far we lived and knew in my heart this is where my daughter belonged. She started in second grade and within just a short week or two we got our girl back! …From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for giving her the confidence and skills she needs to blossom in high school. – Middle School Parent ### We are not accustomed to the incredibly high level of professionalism and compassionate attention that Cambridge provides. For the first time since very early in his school career, our son is actually happy to go to school. He’s confident in his schoolwork and is making obvious progress in all the areas that have challenged him. We are so grateful, you have no idea how you’ve returned to us a sense of hope for his future and created for us a much less stressful present. I only wish we’d known about you sooner. Thanks, from the bottom of our hearts. – Middle School Parent ### Andrew came to Cambridge with bruised confidence and challenges that had not been supported effectively. He leaves Cambridge a confident, independent learner, and a happy young man. The successes that you nurtured will stay with him for a lifetime. – Lower School Parent ### I drove by the old school site the other day and was just flooded with memories of our years as part of the Cambridge family. Cole attended Wake Forest University. He received over a 3.9 GPA and was invited to apply for a merit based academic scholarship granted to high achieving students at Wake. I feel so strongly that Cambridge launched him in his academic life. Not only did you help him to unlock the barriers he had to traditional learning, but you taught him the value of hard work and perseverance. He still has to work “that much harder” than the person next to him, but he feels that there is nothing he cannot accomplish if he sets his mind to it. The foundation for that attitude was set at Cambridge. – Graduate Parent ### The magic taking place within the walls and classrooms of your school is truly amazing. You have discovered the ability to take children who are frustrated with trying to learn and introduce them to new ways of learning. You helped them develop an enthusiasm, passion, and love for learning. Cambridge School has developed our daughter into a confident young scholar who has a passion and love for learning today. – Graduate Parent ### I have been to all of my son’s Cambridge basketball games and  am truly amazed by the sportsmanship and care that the students show. In this day and age where kindness and humbleness are rare, it is so nice to know that my child is part of such an amazing community. Cambridge School truly embraces the entire child; academically, socially and spiritually. My son has been so lucky to have such a supportive environment  – Middle School Parent ### Last night, my husband and I were driving home from Lincoln Center and our thoughts turned to you and how far Zac has come since he began second grade at the Cambridge School, his confidence shaken, barely able to read at a preschool level.  We were attending Zac’s White Coat Ceremony for the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Hard to believe he is now an MD candidate. It seems like yesterday when I had so many restless nights wondering if he would even be able to attend college before we found the Cambridge School. You and your faculty and staff played a big role in allowing him to pursue his dreams of becoming a surgeon, so I needed to share this occasion with you and all of those at Cambridge who touched our lives.  – Graduate Parent ### Lilly is on the Dean’s List of the School of Arts and Sciences at Catholic University of America. Her excellence in school could not have been possible without Cambridge School! Thank you all for providing such a strong foundation for her education. – Graduate Parent ### I wish every school was like Cambridge School. Every child would benefit from its warm and inviting environment. They stress kindness and being respectful to others. They encourage students and I cannot say enough good things about it. The growth in my daughter’s reading and writing is unbelievable. – Middle School Parent ### The warm, nurturing and academic environment has transformed our daughter into an avid and successful learner. The school has exceeded our expectations in developing the whole child. – Lower School Parent ### I can’t thank you enough for teaching Jake and helping to shape him into the young man he is today. Someone once said, “everyone is a genius but judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, and everyone will think they’re stupid.” That statement epitomizes the Cambridge School. So often it’s easy to focus on what our kids can’t do instead of promoting what they can do. All of the Cambridge staff have a gift. They each, in their own way, have a wonderful ability to address a child’s area of need while continuing to cultivate a child’s inner strengths and abilities. – Graduate Parent ### Catherine was greeted with open arms as soon as she entered Cambridge, and it became a comfortable place to be herself.  Catherine’s smile soon returned, her confidence and self-esteem were rebuilt as well as her determination, and she began learning in a way she truly understands.   We often asked ourselves “what kind of magic are they using at Cambridge School?” We soon realized it wasn’t magic, it was the incredible talent, knowledge, and passion that each of your teachers and staff members possess. They share these qualities with every student and encourage them to reach higher, strive for their personal best and to care about others and the world around you. Today, my husband and I could not be prouder of Catherine. The possibilities for her are endless.  – Lower School Parent ### Cambridge School has completely changed the arc of my son’s academic life. We learned of his serious dyslexia in 7th grade. In 1 1/2 school years, he’s not only caught up, he’s beginning to thrive. College is no longer just a possibility, but we have every expectation that he’ll have a strong college experience, with no doors closed on his future. – Middle School Parent ### The Cambridge School has been a godsend for our youngest daughter. We found the school after two terrifying years in public schools. Our daughter is dyslexic and by the third grade, she still wasn’t reading at all. We enrolled her in the Cambridge School and haven’t regretted our decision for one moment. The teachers at Cambridge are amazing and the curriculum is structured to support students with language-based differences. We are in awe of how far she has progressed since the third grade. We cannot recommend Cambridge School highly enough! – Upper School Parent ### Not only does Cambridge School meet our daughters’ needs academically, it provides them with opportunities for social growth through extra curricular activities making it a true school experience. – Middle School Parent --- ### [All Students Deserve The Opportunity Of An Excellent Education](https://www.thecambridgeschool.org/about-us/mission/) **Published:** October 2, 2014 **Author:** Susanne Hodgin **Excerpt:** Cambridge School was founded on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity for an excellent education.

There is a high co-occurrence of learning differences, such as dyslexia, with language impairment, speech sound disorders and Developmental Language Disorder. While not every student requires services, many students benefit from the additional support that speech and language therapy provides. All therapists are ASHA certified Therapy sessions are integrated into the school day Therapist and teacher collaboration ensures direct application of therapy skills ### **Social Cognitive Strategies™** **(S.C.S.)** Research has identified a 75% co-occurrence of social communication difficulties in children with learning differences. Students with social challenges often lack the ability to think through the multiple perspectives and succeed in daily social situations. For these individuals, “social thinking” must be learned and practiced. Students at Cambridge work on social skill development 1:1 or in small groups with authentic sessions led by ASHA certified speech and language pathologists. ### **The Benefits of S.C.S.™** Research has shown that EQ (Emotional Intelligence) is a better predictor of success than intelligence quotient (IQ) or technical skills (Feist & Barron, 1996). Helps students to use higher-level cognitive strategies to improve their social skills & understand the “why” and “how”  that motivates socialization and critical thinking Utilizes evidence-based social instruction for our students, providing increased self awareness & knowledge of social skills Focuses on skill application in social interactions, allowing students to see that they can generalize these skills in any social environment ### **Occupational Therapy** Occupational therapy services are available for students who require this intervention to reach their full potential.
