Discover Organization and Study Skills © Program

“My son’s study habits have improved, and his outlook towards school is much more positive.”

The Reading Foundation is pleased to announce a new addition to its family of programs.  The Organization and Study Skills Program is intended to help students (grades 4 – 12) become more organized and better prepared to take exams.  The Study Skills Program evolved from our Discover Meaning © Program.  The two can be done in conjunction or separately, as determined and recommended from the results of the initial assessment.

Key Features:

-Students complete a series of five Workbooks, covering the fundamentals of getting organized, planning, note-taking, study skills, and test-taking strategies

-Students are presented with an ORGANIZATIONAL BINDER*, and necessary materials

*(Binder and materials are an additional $50 cost to the hourly clinical fees.)

Rates

The cost of the initial assessment, if required, is $250 and includes the testing time with the student, consultation with parents and a written report. Students who have already completed The Discover Meaning Program do not need an initial assessment.  Cost of individual one-to-one instruction is $65 per hour. (All prices in Canadian dollars.) The average length of this program is 40 hours. There is no Goods and Services Tax (GST) on this service.

You may be able to deduct the amount paid to The Reading Foundation as a medical expense on your Canadian income tax return if the student attends the Calgary clinic. A properly worded receipt for this purpose is provided once the student exits the program in Calgary. (For income tax deductions, a referral from your family physician or an independent psychologist who recommends the services of The Reading Foundation, is strongly suggested.)

Dr. Truch is a chartered psychologist in Alberta.  Because of this, fees may also be partially recovered from private health care plans that cover psychological services, provided the student attends the Calgary clinic.

If you are a US citizen visiting this web site, a trip to Calgary or Vancouver may be surprisingly affordable for you. Our hourly charge is usually less than a comparable clinical program in the United States. May we suggest planning a holiday in beautiful Calgary or Vancouver and bringing the gift of learning to your son or daughter at the same time?
