537 S. 3rd St., Jefferson OR, 97352

We offer strategies to retrain the language area of the brain
and prescreenings for Dyslexia and Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome.

The former MVLC has moved to 537 S. 3rd St., Jefferson OR, 97352. It is now called "The Joan Craig Center". The change became effective June 1, 2007.
Phone number or 541-327-1363.

The move was necessitated by the desire to go back to my roots in Jefferson and to have more quality time with my family.

I am still offering assessments: (Academic, Dyslexic and Irlen Scotopic Syndrome). Tutoring one to one will be twice a week on Tues. and Thurs. or by appointment. New this year will be the availability of workshops and speeches. Please book workshops and speeches 2 months in advance.

It is important to get help with Dyslexia in the early learning years, the longer you wait, the more the student gets discouraged, frustrated, anxious, and may want to drop out of school.

At the Joan Craig Center, I will teach you and your student the tools and techniques that change the brain thereby making learning easier and promoting self-confidence and happiness for both the student and the parent.

Thank you for your understanding in our change of address and please call with any questions.

 


Do you have a bright child who struggles with reading, writing or math? Dyslexia and Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome affect about 15-20 % of the population. Mid-Valley Learning Center uses proven, intensive, and well-researched techniques in one-on-one programs. We help these frustrated children turn their lives around.


Just The Facts About Dyslexia

Spelling and Reading—Is there a correlation between being able to read and being able spell?

Almost all people with dyslexia have great difficulty with spelling. Memorizing a list for a weekly spelling test may be workable, but the same word which must be used in a sentence later in the week may show transposition of letters, reversals, and processing problems.
