MOTOR SYMBOL SEQUENCING PART TIME PROGRAM ON SATURDAY

Who can benefit from this program?

For a more complete description of this dysfunction, please refer to the Description of Learning Dysfunctions on our web site.

This area is the slowest to improve but is the easiest to identify. The Motor Symbol Sequencing program is only one component of the Arrowsmith Program and the typical student will have other areas of learning difficulty that this cognitive exercise does not address and which will continue to cause the student difficulty. This is only one component of the larger cognitive program at Arrowsmith School.

What is involved?

The student will work in a small group of other students accompanied by his or her parent or another adult family member who will act as a coach under the supervision of an Arrowsmith School staff person. The Saturday time slots are fixed each week and drop in sessions are not available.

The student and family member will receive training in the two exercises that comprise the Motor Symbol Sequencing program. The family member will learn how to monitor the performance of the exercises to ensure that they are completed properly and will monitor the student's homework at home between sessions.

The first two sessions are devoted to training the student and family member in the correct method of performing the exercises. At subsequent sessions, the student's progress will be monitored and reviewed and the schedule of exercises modified as required.

The student is expected to do a minimum of 4 hours of homework per week on the exercises between the Saturday sessions following a schedule that is assigned by Arrowsmith School staff. Completed homework is brought to each session for review and feedback is provided.

The program runs from September to the middle of June and comprises twenty one-hour sessions at Arrowsmith School. It includes instruction and training in the exercises and ongoing monitoring by Arrowsmith School staff.

The fee also includes all the exercise materials that will be required during the course including:

An assessment is not required for this program, however we request that you provide a current sample of your child's handwriting or printing, a copy of the most recent report card and if available copies of previous assessments at the time of application. At the beginning of the program we will have the student complete a writing sample.
