Gap Academy

 

What our Students are saying about us...

"The Gap teachers are helping me read more fluently and my attitude is getting a lot better, too - thanks to the help I've gotten from Gap." M.E.

"I've only been at Gap for two months, but already I'm starting to get all the information I need out of a lecture style class. I've learned about strategies I need to use to write notes and listen at the same time. My learning disability affects me in my life in many ways, for example, when studying for a test. I'm still working on study strategies and skills - but at least they have classes here in study skills. Now, finally, someone is showing me how to learn better. For the first time in my life, I feel like my problem will be solved and I will be able to go back to a regular school and work in classes without being embarrassed." G.A.

"My L.D.s are mainly OCD, ADHD and TS. When I first came to Gap I was always hyperfocussing on everything and school was driving me crazy. I've progressed a lot because I've learned how to control my hyperactivity and apply the control to learning in a classroom. Things are a lot better now. I've written the entrance exam for my dream school and just passed - thanks to Gap and to all my hard work over the last two years." B.M.D.

"I really appreciate what Gap has done for me in such a short time. When I came in September, I couldn't concentrate for even a short period of time. And now, mostly I can sit for the whole class. It's the first time I've been able to finish any assignments." D.E.M.

"I have ADD. I've changed a lot since I first stepped foot in the Gap door. I just wrote a college LD entrance exam and passed with flying colours. Even though at times I thought the teachers were really hassling me, I know it was all worthwhile." J.R.

"Hello. I have PDD. I just came last year on September 11, and since then I've learned to change many of my behaviours. I have learned about social language and social interactions. I've also learned how to speak and make sense over a long conversation. I've learned about how to change my behaviours so that they are more acceptable to others around me. Thanks, Gap." S.J.
