Stowell Learning Center - Irvine

They do a real amazing job

Im so so sorry but my son time and effort were wasted at this place to understand why parents feel this way. Our son now needing more intensive...

Stowell Learning Center is amazing. Both of my sons have struggled with readingenglish and poor performance at school. They have both been diagnosed with ADHD but medicine really didnt help the results at school. We have been with Stowell for almost 4 months and we see a marked improvement in awareness self-confidence attention to detail and ultimately performance. We are so grateful to have found them.

Love this place. Totally helping my son overcome his learning disabilities. He can focus better and longer after only 4 monthsIts been four years since we finished at stowell. Looking back id say it helped while he was there a great deal. Night and day. But Long term it hasnt helped nearly as much as Id hoped. Im sure due to many outside factors. They would say partly due to his screen time and gaming If I could do it all over again Id have my son take a professional psych ed test first then go from there. Turns out my son has suffered from depression from a young age. We should have concentrated on that first.

I cannot say enough good things about Stowell Learning Center in Irvine. In short Jill Stowell and her team get to the root issues causing learning difficulties. After the speech therapy assessments and a full psycheducational assessment were done. we asked ourselves Can the deficits be treated or should our daughter go through life compensating for these deficits I now have my answer. Deficits in many cases can be corrected. We don t need to settle for just coping and learning compensating strategies. I m writing as a mother of a soon to be 10 year old 4th grader who in broad terms has a language learningprocessing disorder. She struggles with working memory executive functioning a slower cognitive processing speed etc. Even with putting in 150 effort homework took 1.5 hours. She wonders why she is so slow I can t get it why she can t remember facts and that other kids get to play but not her . After an assessment at the Centershe was then put on a program a combination of listeningcomprehension reading sound therapy and maths concepts. The sessions are NOT tutoring. ie she does not do homework there. The programs are not one size fits all. They are tailored to the child s needs.The Irvine staff are professional yet caring. Opening lines of communication to the teachers and advocate for the children s needs. They are incredibly supportive and approachable.We are in our 5th month of going 3 afternoons a week. I see a transformation in her. She is more comfortable in her own skin. Her confidence has grown. She now knows that she is not stupid as her test scores are showing that she is going from a C student in some subjects to a B and A-. She is not only learning she is retaining the information and can reproduce what she knows. She understands that she learns differently. Upon starting at Stowell her reading and comprehension test scores were 920. 2 months into Stowell she was getting 14-1520. 5 months in she is now getting anywhere between 18-2020. She is understanding the material in its context more and more. I need to say too that she goes to a great school that accommodates for her learning style provides the support she needs and there is good partnership happening between Stowell the school and home. We are each doing our part in supporting and training her.Cost It s costly but again worth every penny. We have made some lifestyle choices to give her the opportunity to learn and grow at Stowell. We see it as a necessary investment in her life.I have seen the effectiveness of the training she is receiving at Stowell Learning Center and the changes in our daughter. I hope that other kids and families who struggle like we did will contact the Center and experience the same growth that we are seeing in our daughter. I highly recommend the book At Wits End written by Jill Stowell. The information nights are also worth going to. SLC have helped 100 s of children with a variety of learning styles and challenges and I am grateful that my daughter is one of them.
