Why is the Y.E.S. program needed?

1 in 5 children in the U.S. have learning differences like dyslexia and ADHD. These challenges are caused by differences in how the brain develops and functions.
Millions of kids who learn and think differently do not get the support they need in school. Children who learn differently are smart and sometimes need strategies and supports to help them thrive.
High school students with learning disabilities drop out of high school at nearly three times the rate of all students
Studies have shown that unaddressed learning and thinking differences can lead to trouble with the law. A large study found that half of young adults with a learning disability had been involved with the justice system.

Y.E.S. Program Goals/Objectives:

Increase student achievement of students with unique learning needs in math and reading by one grade level each year of the student’s participation in the program (Quantitative measurable outcome)
Increase the number of high school students with learning disabilities who are college ready through successful completion of ACT/SAT Prep program. (Quantitative measurable outcome)
