Online Intervention
Online intervention offers a flexible, effective way to support language and literacy development from home. Sessions are interactive and personalized, using evidence-based practices adapted thoughtfully for a virtual setting. Many students thrive with online instruction, especially when sessions are structured, engaging, and supported by a consistent routine.
Benefits of online intervention include:
- Increased flexibility for families and students
- Access to specialized instruction regardless of location
- Highly focused, one-on-one sessions
- Opportunities to use digital tools that support reading, spelling, and language learning
Basic requirements:
To participate successfully, students need:
- A reliable internet connection
- A computer or tablet with a camera and microphone (headphones may be recommended)
- A quiet, distraction-reduced space
- An adult available nearby for younger students to assist with setup or support as needed
What families can expect:
Online sessions mirror the structure and intention of in-person instruction. Lessons are explicit, supportive, and paced to the learner. Parents may be asked to help with occasional follow-up activities or routines between sessions, but no teaching background is required. Progress is monitored continuously, and instruction is adjusted to meet each student’s needs.
Online intervention is not the right fit for every learner, but for many students it provides a comfortable, consistent environment in which meaningful growth can occur.
In-Home Intervention
In-home intervention provides individualized language and literacy support in a familiar, comfortable environment. Working one-on-one in the student’s home allows instruction to be responsive, personal, and grounded in real-life routines. Sessions are thoughtfully structured and tailored to each learner’s needs, using evidence-based practices that support lasting skill development.
Benefits of in-home intervention include:
- Learning in a familiar, low-stress setting
- Direct, individualized support with immediate feedback
- Opportunities to use household materials and real-world contexts
- Strong connection between instruction and everyday learning
Basic requirements:
To ensure productive sessions, families are asked to provide:
- A quiet, designated workspace (table or desk preferred)
- A consistent schedule and on-time start
- An adult present in the home during sessions
- Basic materials as needed (paper, pencils, occasional printed or digital resources)
What families can expect:
In-home sessions follow a clear, supportive structure and are paced to the student. Instruction is explicit and encouraging, with time for guided practice and application. Families may receive suggestions for carryover between sessions, but the focus remains on effective instruction during scheduled time. Progress is monitored regularly, and goals are adjusted thoughtfully as skills develop.
In-home intervention is a strong option for students who benefit from in-person support and individualized attention in a comfortable setting.
