Academic Support FAQ
1. How is it determined who qualifies and what services are needed?
Students who have already received tutoring services or have a diagnosis for a reading-language diagnosis could qualify for our in house reading-language intervention services. Our intervention team will work with the classroom teacher and family to best determine the services needed.
2. What is the cost?
See table above.
3. What if we previously had a tutor come to CAC to work with my student?
Our goal is to provide in-house intervention to all students with dyslexia or characteristics of dyslexia. The introduction of two elementary interventionists who are highly qualified and work specifically with elementary age students while being able to work hand-in-hand with our faculty, is an extreme advantage. Thus, our elementary intervention program allows for easy transitions between the students’ classroom teacher and the elementary interventionist to provide a unique CAC academic experience.
4. How will we be charged?
Participants will be billed via FACTS the month after service was provided.
5. Will students work 1:1 or in small groups?
Depending on student need, students may work one on one with our interventionists or in a small group of students with similar needs.
6. When will students be pulled? What will they miss in class?
Our interventionists and teachers will work together to find the best time for students to be pulled for intervention. Ideally, students will not miss new instruction, recess, lunch, or activities such as library, art, PE, or music.
7. What will students do in their intervention time?
Students will receive tailored, in-depth, instruction that targets reading skills based on the data provided by classroom teachers and formal evaluations.
8. How long will my student qualify for intervention?
Students will continue to receive intervention as long as there is an academic need. Our interventionists will work with parents and teachers to determine if a student is ready to be dismissed.
9. How do the classroom teacher and interventionists work together?
Our academic interventionists and classroom teachers are committed to a cohesive approach to addressing students’ academic needs. We believe this will enhance the overall learning experience for all students. Our team will collaborate closely to monitor student growth and student needs.
10. If my child doesn’t have an academic need, but does have a disability such as ADHD, Autism, or Executive Functioning needs, can they still qualify for an accommodation plan?
Yes. If a student has a qualifying diagnosis and shows a need for classroom or testing accommodations, they are eligible for an accommodation plan. Please reach out to your school principal if you feel your child may qualify for an accommodation plan.
11. When do I reach out to the classroom teacher vs interventionist?
Reach out to your child’s academic interventionist if you have a question about interventions. If you have questions about a student struggling with a specific class assignment or homework, please contact the classroom teacher.
