Conway, T.W. 2001 Journal of Learning Disabilities 2001; 34:33-58). This research supports how one of he Morris Center's treatment programs may provide a possible solution for children and young adults who are hindered by learning disabilities, such as dyslexia. We apply a unique program (supported by long-term scientific evidence) that has helped our clients with dyslexia re-enter their schools or work place with improved skills that are consistent with their expected range of academic and job potential. Our treatment program is fundamentally different  from  the approach employed by typical learning centers or tutors — these programs typically treat the client's symptom or teach them to compensate for their weaker skills. Rarely do these programs or tutors actually aim to uncover the possible causes of the client's difficulties .  The Morris Center uses an interdisciplinary treatment model that first identifies the most likely cause or causes of the difficulty and then provides an individualized treatment program that focuses on improving the weaker skills that are most likely contributing to the client's difficulties.  A 12 year old made dramatic changes in her skills at The Morris Center.  Teachers and administrators from her school traveled over 1,000 miles to TMC to learn first-hand how we had helped her (click here)

We provide: A comprehensive, interdisciplinary assessment to determine the most likely root cause(s) of the learning, sensory processing, language, attention, and behavior difficulties. Neurological, psychological, neropsychological and behavioral functions are evaluated to understand all essential aspects of a client's strengths and weaknesses, including family relationships and family functioning. We empower parents to be the most effective advocate for their child. We empower our adult clients to effectively use their improved skills to advocate for themselves, aim to fulfill life goals, and set new goals that may be achievable with their improved/improving skills and abilities.

Our Interdisciplinary, intensive, individualized and scientifically proven language, sensorimotor, sensory processing, attention and behavior  treatments are designed to strengthen the processes and develop the skills that are weak. As weak skills become stronger, then learning becomes more efficient and the child or adult feels more competent and confident. We help them unlock their hidden, true potential. Self-esteem comes from success. We help build new bridges in the brain (neural networks) that true science indicates are most likely to provide new pathways or better skills. We target treatment only for the client's skills that need improvement, such as language/learning skills (reading, writing, spelling, comprehension, speaking/expression, memory and critical thinking), sensory processing, sensorimotor, attention and behavior.
