If you have a smart struggling child, you may be asking yourself, “Should we invest in a summer program for our child?” Our specialty is the student who is a lot smarter than present results would indicate and is what we call a bright right brain learner – who learns best when they see and experience information.
The simple answer is yes, if:
- Your child is a lot smarter than present results would indicate?
- You have the time and resources to do the right program.
- You find the right program that can help your child to make significant gains in months in multiple areas (e.g. reading fluency, reading comprehension, attention, confidence …)
- You get the help needed to be the coach and advocate your child needs
Is 3D Learner The Right Summer Program for Your Child?
If you have a smart struggling child, they may have been identified with dyslexia, ADHD, executive function or related challenges. We have found that most smart struggling students:
- Are a bright right brain learner
- Often have a sea of strengths and challenges
- Can do far better when one focuses on their strengths, while addressing their challenges
- Can benefit from the right summer program, when school pressure is not present
As we look back over the last 27 years, we notice that a significant number of students we helped over the summer made significant gains in their reading fluency, reading comprehension, math skills, attention and self-confidence.
What were the key actions that led to our student’s success:
– Their parents called us and had a conversation.
– Their parents then invested in our Comprehensive Assessment that in each case showed their child learned differently, had significant strengths and challenges, and had the potential to do far better with what we offered.
– We discussed how what we offered could be far more effective than virtually any other program because:
-
- We teach the way their child learns
- We tailor our program to meet each child’s needs
- We engage our students by both focusing on what is important to them and by using our hands-on methods, that are integrated, engaging and effective
- We address the relevant attention, visual processing working memory and/or processing speed issues that are often present as well as address phonemic awareness
- Our approach improves decoding, reading fluency, and reading comprehension. We strive to ignite a love for learning and reading!
- While we help students with dyslexia, ADHD, executive function and related issues, we use the positive label of a Bright Right Brain Learner.
- We help parents to be the coach and advocate their child needs. NOTE: we offer one of the few programs that has parent coaching as an integral part of the program.
– The parents recognized that we could tailor a program to meet their child’s needs, help them to be the coach and advocate their child needed, and had a high probability of generating significant results within months.
– Their parents chose to work with us

What did our most successful parents do that led to truly outstanding progress? They
- Leveraged our intensive program that laid the groundwork for significant gains – note, in the last few years as we leverage zoom, we have been able to help students via zoom, too.
- Did the follow-up over the next few months to generate the maximum benefit from our joint efforts
Their child then made gains like the three cases outlined below:
One mom of a third grader was really frustrated. Despite investing in other programs, her bright 3rd grader was really struggling. 5 minutes into the initial call, she commented, “How is it that after 5 minutes you appear to know my child better than people who have known him for years”. She had been told to find another private school for her son, whose reading comprehension was 2 years below grade level,
She lived out of state and asked, “What is the best way to do your program”. We responded that while we offer a 5-day intensive program, we have seen excellent results with students who came for 3 days (for 2 to 4 hours, depending on the age of the student) and then another 2 days 4 to 6 weeks later. That is what she chose to do. Her son was able to improve his reading comprehension 3 grade levels over the next year, to excel at his school.
His teacher said “I have never seen a student make such dramatic gains in 27 years of teaching
For students who have come to us from California, Washington, Arizona and other states that are further away, a one-week intensive program is often more practical.

A rising 6th grader was really struggling with attention, self-control and reading comprehension. He was also struggling with baseball where his average had dropped to 260, as the pitching became harder to hit. As we spoke with him, we discussed how our program could help his baseball skills, as well as his attention, self-control and reading comprehension. Sports, dance, or martial arts are often what our students want to improve. By working on their neural timing and their visual processing, we are often able to engage the students and help them to dramatically improve their performance in sports and other activities.
With our help, he was able to:
- Improve his reading comprehension 4 grade levels in 5 months
- Double his reading speed
- Go from special education classes to regular education classes
- Be far more attention and control his impulses
- Increase his batting average from 260 to 382 and increase his home run production from 1 to 10
- Become much more confident in his abilities
A rising 9th grader who was a C+ student, his reading comprehension was 4 years below grade level, he was reading at 200 words per minute and was considered unmotivated. In our initial conversation, mom was delighted to hear that we would leverage her child’s strengths. With our work with the student and his parents he was able to:
- Improve his reading comprehension 4 grade levels in 100 days – from the 5th to 9th grade level
- Increase his reading speed from 200 to 360 words per minute
- Become a highly motivated student
- Excel in high school and get several full scholarship offers for college
Our program was developed to do this for our high school daughter. We realize our goal is to both motivate, train and support our students. We get student buy-in before we accept teenage students.
