Educational Support for Students with Disabilities

Learning Aid Ohio exists to subsidize the cost to hire tutors, aides, or in-home providers who can provide learning support for students on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or Section 504 Plans. Our program offers each qualifying student up to $1,500 to spend on services through LearningOhio.com. The primary goal of Learning Aid Ohio is to provide opportunities for meaningful educational experiences for students in response to the challenging school year of distance learning. We know that students with IEPs and 504s have individualized accommodations that are difficult to achieve without in-person help, and this program aims to bridge the gap in services to promote academic success and growth.

Learning Aid Ohio aims to provide in-person, supplemental learning support for students with IEPs and Section 504 Plans. Our goal is to connect families with learning providers to help students stay on track to meet their academic goals, specific to their individual needs. Approved students receive a $1500 grant to use with learning providers on the platform. While the platform hosts a variety of professionals (intervention specialists, speech language therapists, occupational therapists, etc.), each student also has the option of recruiting their own learning provider to join the platform. Students meet with their learning provider for 1:1 tutoring either in-home or in a mutually agreed upon neutral location.

Spend your summer at Lawrence School! We're Northeast Ohio's only academic program for students with dyslexia and other learning differences.
Lawrence School's Orton-Gillingham based instructional approach looks a lot like play. Peek into our classrooms and you'll see students writing in shaving cream, sculpting sight words with modeling clay, bouncing balls as they skip count, and, most importantly, smiling and laughing! But don't be fooled by all the fun-these engaging multisensory activities lead to serious gains in literacy and mathematics. This summer, we invite your child to leap ahead with Lions Leap!

Our daily class schedule consists of 40-minute lessons in phonics, reading fluency, writing, and mathematics-with playground time in between.

All concepts are introduced through visual, tactile, auditory, and kinesthetic activities, which are proven to help students with learning differences make

connections and retain information.

Class sizes are small; groupings of only 8-10 learners make way for plenty of individualized attention from our knowledgeable staff.

Organization is explicitly taught and practiced, further developing the executive function skills essential for success in school and beyond.

Lions Leap is not only an intensive dose of specialized instruction-it's a powerful experience that shows kids who learn differently they CAN succeed academically. In just four weeks, Leapers build new skills, increase self-confidence, gain motivation, make new friends, and find out how fun learning can be!

University of Alabama at Birmingham’s upcoming SEVENTH ANNUAL Magic Camp. This FREE & VIRTUAL Summer Camp is open internationally to children ages 9-18 with a disability.

In this four-week magic camp, children will spend approximately two hours a week learning tricks developed by illusionist Dr. Kevin Spencer & his HOCUS FOCUS program. Each camper will have two UAB Occupational Therapy students assigned to them for the entire camp, and they will meet virtually to learn magic tricks (all supplies, plus a camp t-shirt will be mailed to the campers). Each camp will end in a streamed performance for friends and family!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Learning and performing magic tricks has been shown to benefit children and adults with disabilities. The approach is being shown to be an effective treatment technique as it promotes motivation, and improves physical, psychological, perceptual, or social functions in those who participate.

The annual UAB Magic Camp will be held virtually via Zoom this summer. It is designed - and free to attend - for children ages 9 - 18 with disabilities. In each four-week camp, children will learn two to three magic tricks every Monday and Wednesday, and be part of a group meeting each Friday so all the campers can get to know each other. The end of each camp will feature a streamed magic show performance for friends and family!

The camp is taught by UAB OT students trained in the protocol developed by Kevin Spencer, who is an international authority on the therapeutic use of magic tricks in physical and psycho-social rehabilitation.

Please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you are interested in UAB Magic Camp.

The lessons, the camp and the show are unforgettable highlights in our occupational therapy students' journey that we would love to share with you and your family.
