Where Your Child Receives the Tools They Need to Learn

Our Process

  • Your Child is Not a Test Score

    Comprehensive evaluations including speech, phonological processing, language, visual imagery processing of symbols, math and executive functions are performed to determine a child’s areas of need. The evaluations include empirical observation along with standardized assessment. Your child is not a test score, and should never be viewed as such. As a result, observation, parent/caregiver/teacher feedback and standardized assessment are integrated to create a cohesive learning profile of your child. Our unique comprehensive learning assessments dig deep into each cognitive processing area allowing us to determine the location and level of processing breakdown. We get to the root of the problem.

  • Family Education is Key to a Child's Success

    Following the evaluation, detailed consultations are provided for families to discuss the assessment, the child’s strengths and areas of need, and treatment recommendations. The goal of these consultations is to ensure each family’s understanding of their child’s learning needs.

  • Meeting the Whole Child Where They Are

    At Seeds of Learning, we are trained Speech-Language Pathologists providing speech and language therapy and a variety of educational supports. Integrated cognitive treatment is offered for a wide range of disorders and delays. Based on an integrated cognitive processing model, a treatment plan is specifically designed for each student. As no processing functions in isolation, therapy typically integrates multiple cognitive processes together; addressing the big learning picture as well as the individual cognitive components of need.

    Creating an emotionally safe, positive, and structured therapy environment for our children who struggle with learning is paramount to Seeds of Learning's successful therapy.

Testimonials

  • "Finally, someone else understood my child."

    I felt like Tera was in my brain! Everything that I was thinking, she was explaining. And although I had previously read about executive functioning and thought I knew a lot about it, the Seeds of Learning approach broke it down even further and made me realize there’s so much more to understand.

  • "She sees the whole child."

    Not only has Tera helped our child but she has given us tools to understand and help him. As both my wife and I are in health care, it has been remarkable to see someone that not only could give us a professional and educated assessment and plan but also was involved, interested and caring.

  • Teachers told me, "I have never seen such a positive change in a child in 30 years of teaching."

    The biggest change is in my daughters emotions. Her ability to have empathy. My daughter now can not only recognize her own feelings, but she can name them. She can explain the feeling but more importantly problem solve through the difficulties.

  • We're so grateful for Ms. Hannah... we know that our son would not be where he is today without her.

    fter a thorough assessment, the team at Seeds of Learning helped us to understand what our son's treatment needs were. He started twice weekly sessions with Ms. Hannah, and we began to see the progress at home right away. After just four months of treatment, his reading MAPS test scores increased to the 89th percentile!!

  • "Nobody was able to help our daughter until we met Tera."

    With a Masters in Early Childhood I had a clear understanding of Phonics and Phonemic Awareness, but I was not able to make a difference for my own daughter. We were told it was just an articulation problem and she would grow out of it. Years of struggling went by and the heartache grew because as much as we searched, nobody was able to help our daughter until we met Tera.

  • "From the first moment of testing, I knew she was wonderful."

    Just with Tera isolating the problem and recommending a course of action we saw incredible improvement. One of my son’s teachers called to say in all of the years of teaching, by all of the teachers at St. Gregory’s, not one had ever seen the improvement in a student that my son made that year.

  • "She makes me feel good about myself."

    I LOVE going to see Ms Tera every week because she helps me improve my speech and reading. She makes me feel good about myself. She is the BEST!!

  • "You will see your child begin to love learning!"

    I have recommended Tera Sumpter to families for years because she is the BEST at what she does. Tera will spell out clear goals that are easily carried over at home and both you and your child will understand the “why” behind the therapy activities.
