Structured Literacy Programs
Did you know the biggest barrier to writing is spelling?
Often students struggle with writing when their spelling ability does not match their vocabulary. Learning specific spelling rules and sentence structure will result in improved written expression. While we take parent requests for programming into consideration, ALL students undergo an informal skills assessment, and a program goal is created based on identified gaps in skills.

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.
Summer Cancellation Policy
Missed lessons/rescheduling:
Due to the careful scheduling of summer programs, there are no rescheduled lessons and no refunds for missed lessons. If an instructor is not available, a sub will be provided for the lesson.
Withdrawal:
If a family withdraws less than 7 days prior to the program start date, an administration fee of $100 will be charged, as an Instructor will already have been secured. The remaining balance will be refunded.
Payment
Lessons must be paid in full one week BEFORE the first lesson. Failure to pay for lessons (or failure to communicate with Foothills about a payment plan or payment needs) will result in program cancellation. A deposit equivalent to the first day of lessons is due at registration upon confirmation of your child's program. You will be sent an invoice upon confirmation of your child's program. You are welcome to pay for the program in full at that time.
Client expectations:
Our Instructors strive to engage their students in a strength-based and collaborative manner. We will let you know as soon as possible if a young person’s emotions and/or behaviour in a session prevented us from working with them in an effective manner. Should this occur, we would work in partnership with you to resolve the situation. If there were ongoing issues that impact the young person’s benefit from the sessions, and/or impact others, we would refund any remaining sessions.
