Did you know?
Children diagnosed with a Learning Disability in reading or writing (or suspected of a Learning Disability) benefit from direct and intensive instruction; that's why Read/Write Programs offer evidence-based instruction customized to each student's needs. Programs range in intensity from 60 minutes to 3 hours per day. Learn more about our current programs here.
Intake Criteria
Diagnosis:
- 4 - 6 Years: No diagnosis required for Early Literacy Program
- K - Gr. 3: No diagnosis required but suspicion of a skills gap, recommendation from a teacher or doctor, or noticeable difficulty with reading, writing or math.
- Gr. 4 and Up: Strong preference for a psycho-educational assessment with a diagnosis of an LD, Specific Learning Disorder, or ADHD;
If no psycho-educational assessment has been completed, report cards or an interview is required.
Please Note: Our Instructors are very skilled, but our programs are not designed to manage behavioural concerns. We strongly recommend that students participate in an intensive program before moving to weekly programs. Our weekly programs are designed to support and reinforce learning. Students experience growth in our weekly programs, but it is helpful if they have worked in an intensive environment so that instruction can build on learning.

Paige is a life-long learner. She completed an Honors Undergraduate Degree in Economics which led to some graduate work in Economics in Ontario and working at the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal before she returned to Calgary to work in executive search. She spent the next thirteen years with both national and international companies consulting senior executives and advising on the structuring of executive teams in companies of all sizes in a variety of industries. Her daughter was diagnosed with Learning Disabilities in 2012 and Paige immediately began studying Learning Disabilities and ADHD, pursuing a variety of certifications and gaining experience in providing direct instruction to children with Learning Disabilities in literacy and numeracy. In 2015 she decided to pursue a Masters in Counselling Psychology with a focus on working with children and adolescents diagnosed with Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD. Paige is now a Registered Psychologist with a passion for supporting children and adolescents diagnosed with Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD. She continues to seek out evidence-based practices for remediation to build confidence in each learner who comes through the Read/Write & Math Program. Moreover, Paige brings a level of compassion and empathy to the role as a parent of two children with unique learning needs who have required different levels of intervention over the last ten years.
