Skills Development

Skills Development, a division of College HELP, works with students to support academic challenges and strengths based on a student’s diagnosis and needs. Skills Development also works heavily on organizational, working memory, executive functioning, and technology skills that can significantly impact a student’s ability to succeed academically. Skills Development works closely with individual students to address these unique challenges.

Individualized focus and targeted skill development

Each student in Skills Development works one-on-one with a qualified learning specialist and is provided with a skill development focus and remediation plan designed specifically for his or her individual needs. The plan is implemented at a pace and sequence ideally suited to the needs of the student.

Targeted skills a student may receive in Skills Development include:

  • Reading: decoding and encoding, reading rate and fluency, comprehension and vocabulary development
  • Written Language: punctuation, mechanics, and grammar of the English language; structure and organization of a paragraph
  • Mathematics: basic facts, computation, reasoning, and fluency
  • Academic Skills: achieving active and multi-sensory study sessions, memory techniques, test-taking strategies, time management, and organizational skills
  • Tech Skills: figure out which online tools are best suited for your learning style and needs – our team will help you navigate how to implement tools into your everyday life
