WHO

The LEAP Clinic was established over 20 years ago to provide hands-on experience for teachers seeking certification in learning disabilities and to offer intensive instruction for community students who were performing below expectations.

WHAT

At the clinic we provide research-based, fundamental instruction in reading, mathematics, written expression, spelling, study skills, and social skills. The clinic teachers are closely supervised by UW-Eau Claire faculty who are present every day. Each child receives two hours of instruction, four days a week for five weeks. The clinic is designed to meet the unique individual needs of children
in grades K-12 who are experiencing difficulty acquiring basic skills.

HOW

The LEAP clinic is different from other summer school programs in important ways.

• Low teacher-pupil ratio. The clinic is well staffed with experienced teachers.
• Success. Appropriate placement at students’ instructional level ensures that they will be both challenged and successful.
• Progress. Performance is monitored daily to ensure student mastery.
• Feedback. You will receive a detailed report about your child’s progress at the end of the summer.
• Engaged. Students are on task during instructional time.
• Academics. Basic skills are stressed to form a foundation for future learning.
• Effective. Curriculum and methods are research-based.
