If your child is having difficulty in school, he or she may simply have a different way of learning. Parents are often the first to notice that “something doesn’t seem right,” but sometimes knowing what to do and where to find help can be confusing.
SAC can provide you with the right supports and interventions in order for your student to succeed in school and in life.
