Question 2

How does Special Education tutoring at VillageED differ from a traditional tutor?

Accepted Answer

Traditional tutoring often focuses on getting through tonight's homework or memorizing facts for the next test. At VillageED, we believe your child deserves more than that. Our academic support is built around a comprehensive Special Education Achievement Plan — because we see your child as a whole person, not just a list of assignments to complete. Our specialists take the time to truly understand how your child learns, and then adapt our teaching to match exactly how they process information. Whether your child needs help carrying their speech goals into reading comprehension, or occupational therapy strategies woven into their writing, we're here to bridge the gap between therapy and the classroom — so nothing your child works so hard for gets left behind.

Question 4

Can your tutors work with behaviors during …?

Accepted Answer

One of the biggest struggles parents face with standard tutoring is finding someone who truly knows how to support their child in the moment — when frustration builds, focus fades, or everything just feels like too much. That's where VillageED is different. Because we integrate ABA services into our approach, our specialists are equipped with positive behavior support strategies designed specifically for moments like these. We gently help your child build stamina, ease academic anxiety, and grow the confidence and skills they need to become independent, capable learners — at their own pace, in a way that feels supportive, not stressful.

Question 5

My child has behavior issues related to their disability. Can you support me with this?

They'll also help you create visual choice boards and schedules together, giving your child helpful tools to support positive behavior in a way that feels natural and empowering, both at home and beyond.

Question 7

I disagree with my child's school about their current placement. Can I get an independent assessment from you on the Plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and you are entitled to request an independent review by law. Simply give your specialist a call to schedule the assessment.

Question 8

What if I completely disagree with the school's current goals or placement?

Accepted Answer

We are your strategic allies — standing right beside you, every step of the way. If you feel your child's IEP isn't targeting the right skills, your specialist will work with you to rewrite those goals and advocate for what your child truly needs. If you have concerns about placement, we can provide independent assessments to help support your case. While we don't directly represent families in Due Process hearings, we make sure you're never walking into those conversations alone — equipping you with the data, documentation, and expert guidance you need to advocate for your child with confidence.

I'm wondering if my child would benefit from technology. How can you help me with this?

Accepted Answer

Your team of providers and your specialist will help you by assessing your child to determine which technology device best meets their needs. We will provide you with a recommendation that you can present to the IEP team as part of the assistive technology consideration mandate.

Question 10

I need a referral to a psychologist because I suspect my child has ADHD. Will my specialist be able to give me a referral?

Accepted Answer

Your Achievement Plan membership gives you access to our psychologists, and we can provide you with high-level support after observation. However, we recommend that you begin with your child's teacher. They may have some ideas on how to support your child in the classroom and may want to consult with the school site psychologist. A diagnosis of ADHD can only come from a doctor, and if you require more support than the school can provide, you will need to contact them.
