Learning Support Program (LSP)

The Learning Support Program is designed to help students with mild learning difficulties work towards successful completion of CAISL academic requirements.

*Small Group Instruction

*Regular Monitoring of Progress

*Formal Accommodations

*Executive Functioning Skills

*Literacy Skills                                                          

*Mathematics Skills

 *Reaching Grade Level Academic Expectations

Learning Support tailors its services to the needs of the student, as determined by both external and in-house testing, teacher assessment, and, where necessary, the Individual Educational Plan.  Accommodations may be available to help students gain equal access to the curriculum.  

CAISL recognizes the vital input parents provide about their child's life outside of school and his/her interests, enthusiasms, and approach to learning. 

Parents can help the CAISL faculty to support the child better by providing on-going information about the child and what the Parent is seeing at home.  Information on the items shown below help us support your child:

Likes, dislikes, personality

Interests, talents, abilities

Family relationships and dynamics (including extended family and pets)

Peer relationships and dynamics

Family routines and schedules

Physical and emotional history

Parents also should speak with the child's teacher(s) about goals that have been set and collaborate with your the teacher(s) regarding progress and propose changes in goals, strategies and/or resources or support where they see a need.

CAISL writes an Individual Education Plan (IEP) when the Tracking Team (the CAISL personnel who follow the child's progress closely) deems it is beneficial to the child.   The IEP sets the progress goals for the child for the year and outlines the manner and timeline in which those goals will be met.  The IEP is written annually and reviewed with Parents. 

Mild levels of learning support are included in the tuition fees at CAISL.
