(Year-Round Virtual Program- 1:1 customized subject/activity)
Is your special needs child having too much alone time? Maybe having tutors or playmates will help your child to be gradually more social and active in addition to learning things that interest him/her?
FCSN youth volunteers can work with your special needs child 1:1 online on any academic subjects or non-academic activities of your choice. Furthermore, with our support, you can work with the tutor to select/design materials customized to your child’s functioning level, interest, and needs. To assure the quality of the tutoring sessions, an experienced supervisor will routinely review parents’ feedback and tutors’ after-class-reports, then take actions as needed.
This is an on-going program, you can register at any time. If you are interested in learning more about this program, please click HERE to visit SNTutoring website.
