Since 1997, 3D Learner Learning Center has helped thousands of smart struggling students who learn differently succeed at our South Florida location.  We have recently moved to Durham, NC.

Many of our students have been diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability, executive function issues, ADHD, a math disability and/or anxiety challenges.  A third of our parents just know they have a smart struggling child, and they want to know why their child is struggling and how they can succeed.  Parents often say, “I wish we had found you first”.

Local parents often bring their child to us, and the follow-up can be done in person or via zoom

Note, we have helped students from 40 states and 12 foreign countries.  Sometimes students and their parents come for an intensive week of training, followed by zoom based training.  

Our goal is to have your child make significant progress in months

In our first conversation, we shift the focus to a strength-based model: what is your child good at, what are their interests and what is most important to you.

We know that most smart struggling students are a right brain learner, a visual learner, or a kinesthetic learner.  Most kids learn best when they see and experience information.  Our hands-on multisensory program is integrated, engaging and effective.  We have three other goals for our students.  We want your child to be: 

• Calm, confident and focused
• Love learning and reading
• Able to self-advocate

We also include parent coaching to help you to be the Coach and Advocate your child needs. Our first child was successful in school.  When our second child struggled, we needed to learn a whole new approach.  When working with schools, we are collaborative and focused on student success.  As one parent said, “I have had 6 frustrating and confrontational IEP meetings and this is the first one where I left knowing that we accomplished what we wanted to accomplish with a team effort”, M Simpson, Florida.

We offer a 15-minute no cost Get It Right Conversation.

While most learning centers are a franchise or company owned operation (e.g. Sylvan Learning Center, Huntington Learning Center, Brain Balance, Kumon Learning Center, the 3D Learner Learning Center is run by Mira Halpert, M.Ed, who developed the 3D Learner Program ® for her now adult children.  In addition to being a teacher of Gifted Students, Julie, who has her Doctorate Degree In Special Education, is on the 3D Learner Team, Mark Halpert, who is a collaborative parent advocate, and an SAT Math Specialist is also part of the team. 

What allows us to be very successful are the parents we attract.  Parents like our approach that:

• Was developed for our own daughter, who was a smart kid who learned differently.  Mira Halpert, who developed the program and runs our 3D Learner Learning Center in Durham has her Master’s in Education from the University of Michigan, learns differently herself, and has helped thousands of students succeed.
• Our team now includes our daughter Julie, who was the original 3D Learner.  Julie has 20 years of teaching experience and has achieved her goal of becoming the teacher she never had.  Julie has her Master’s in Education from the University of Florida and has taught Gifted students, children with autism and been responsible for the Response to Intervention Program at her school.
• Is Strength-based.   
• Identifies and addresses issues related to Dyslexia, Attention, Working Memory, Processing Speed, and Visual Processing using all evidence -based approaches 
• Improves their child’s confidence and resilience, while reducing their anxiety
• Helps you to be the coach and advocate your child needs
• Collaborates with others
• Often leads to significant gains in months

 

The First Conversation Shifts to Your Child’s Strengths 

The first conversation with a parent often shifts their thinking.  While we are interested in knowing what conditions your child has been diagnosed with, we are far more interested in understanding your child’s strengths and interests.

We then get a better understanding of what parents have tried.  We know that most investments helped their child, and we share why they may not have made as big a difference as the parents had hoped for.

As one parent commented, “After less than 10 minutes, it appears you understand my child better than anyone at school, where he has been for 3 years”, ( Donna J. Maryland).  Even better, her third-grade son improved his reading comprehension 3 grade levels in a year and according to his teacher, “He made more progress in a year than any student she had had in her 27 years of teaching”.

Our students often make dramatic gains within months.  This includes:

• A second grader who had been through two years of dyslexia training and her reading comprehension was at the kindergarten level.  She improved her reading comprehension to the second grade level in 4 months and to the third grade level in 7 months.  She also read 23 chapter books during this period  – the first such books she had ever read on her own.  Her attention and confidence soared and her dancing improved, too
• A third grader improved from the worst reader in her class to the best reader in her 4th grade class.  Her attention and confidence were much better. Her anxiety was much lower and she went from a shy person to being a confident “social butterfly” with lots of friends.
• A fifth grader who improved her reading comprehension from the 1st grade level to the 5th grade level, while doubling her reading speed.  She also reduced her homework time from 2.5 hours to 1 hour and 10 minutes.  For the first time she was able to do her work independently
• An eighth grader who improved his comprehension 4 grade levels in 3 months, increased his reading speed by 80 percent and was accepted by a very competitive college
• A baseball player, post-concussion, improved his batting average from 190 to 4045, his home runs from one to 10 and who later played in the College World Series.

The 3D Learner Learning Center has 5 key differences than most learning centers:

• Our specialty is with smart kids who learn differently.  They may be a right brain, visual or kinesthetic learner — who learns best when they see and experience information.  We capitalize on their strengths with a clay-based kinesthetic approach that is integrated, engaging and effective.  Our focus is on helping the whole child:

 

• We identify and address the other conditions that may be present.  We identify and address
  • How your child learns best, where they are strong and what is holding them back.  We use both the Structure of Intellect Assessment ® and The Mindprint Assessment ®.  The latter was developed by the University of Pennsylvania to identify Executive Function strengths and challenges.
  • Dyslexia with the UFLI Program ® — developed by the University of Florida, that is based on the Orton Gillingham Process
  • ADHD and attention issues with the Interactive Metronome ® – an excellent tool that improves attention, reduces impulsivity and improves reading fluency, math fluency and sports skills
  • Visual processing issues — using a Visagraph ® to identify issues and the Eyes-in Sync Virtual Reality System to improve visual processing
  • Self-regulation issues with the Safe and Sound Protocol ®
  • Reading Comprehension using REAL BOOKS and supporting programs like
    • Raz-Kids ® for younger students
    • Reading Plus ® for older students

• We strive to build confidence and resilience and to ignite a love for learning

 

• We help you to be an even more effective Coach and Advocate for your child.  This includes a Goal Setting session where we work on the key areas for improvement, specific goals and an affirmation process.

 

• We partner with schools and other professionals to provide a comprehensive solution that can help your child make significant gains in months

Note, our assessments and training can be done in person or over zoom.  In some cases, we start with in person work and do the follow-up on zoom.

Whether you have a child with dyslexia, learning disabilities or ADHD – or a smart struggling child who might be a visual learner, a right brain learner or a kinesthetic learner, the 3D Learner Learning Center offers an option designed for success in months.
