What Is Learning Disorder Support?

Learning disorder support encompasses specialized therapeutic interventions designed to help individuals with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and other learning differences succeed academically and personally.

Rather than viewing learning differences as deficits, our approach recognizes them as variations in how the brain processes information.

At IMPACT, we understand that learning differences often come with remarkable strengths—creativity, problem-solving abilities, and unique perspectives. Our support focuses on developing compensatory strategies while building confidence and self-advocacy skills for lifelong success.
