Education Center provides a variety of services including Special Education Advocacy, Educational Therapy, and Tutoring.  Carol Behrens, MA, Director of the Education Center has 13 years experience working with families with special needs children.  She has extensive knowledge of special education law, psychology, learning disabilities, emotional disorders, educational assessments, and teaching methodologies. 

Education Center provides children with a safe and motivating place to learn, where their individual needs can be met through the support of caring adults and the use of the latest technology.  We help parents understand their children's difficulties and provide appropriate strategies to respond to those challenges.

Some students that are very intelligent do not perform up to their full potential because of learning disabilities, social or emotional problems, language problems, or lack of confidence or self-esteem.  These students can be helped by our services.

Parents need to know that children with special needs have educational rights afforded to them by law which can help them to become more successful at school and thus in life.  In our experience as Advocates, we have found that most parents and even teachers are unaware of the services that are available.  If children continue to struggle in school as a result of not having their needs met, their self-esteem is negatively affected, and they fall behind in their studies until their problems begin to affect all aspects of their lives.

All children in the United States have the right to receive a free and appropriate education.  An Individualized Education Program (IEP) describes the educational program that has been designed to meet that child's unique needs.  Each child who receives special education and related services must have an IEP.  Each IEP must be designed for one student and must be a truly individualized document.  The IEP creates an opportunity for teachers, parents, school administrators, related services personnel, and students (when age appropriate) to work together to improve educational results for children with disabilities. The IEP is the cornerstone of an appropriate education for each child with a disability.
