Best Learning Disabilities Tutoring – Y3K Tutor In Your Home

By

Y3K Tutor In Your Home was recently honored with the Best Learning Disabilities Specialists Award. Thousands of parents reading the Boston Parents Paper chose us for their Family Favorite Reader’s Choice Award for our work helping students with learning disabilities. This is the third time we have received this honor as we won in 2024, 2023, and 2022. Our hard work paid off to win this award, but more importantly, all of our learning disabilities students’ hard work and success paid off to allow us to even be considered for this award.

Looking at the list of the other nominees in the Learning Disabilities Specialists category, we realize we were up against some major names in the education field. It means a lot to us that thousands of parents voted that Y3K Tutor In Your Home was more popular and in fact better than all the other large, big named companies on the list. Thank you for choosing us as the winner again for the third year in a row.

Sensory Friendly Easter Egg Hunt (Part 2)

By

Sensory friendly Easter eggs shouldn’t be filled with candy or other foods. The reason is many children with sensory processing issues have difficulty with food due to certain textures and flavors. This often causes food aversions (a strong dislike for particular foods). Each child has their own unique issue with certain textures and flavors so there is no such thing as a universal food that they can all enjoy.

A way of including all children would be to fill the sensory friendly Easter eggs with various toys like cars, dinosaurs, animals, and stickers. Using toys ensures that the kids would leave with the toys to play with, rather than candy or food that may be left behind uneaten. If you try a sensory friendly Easter egg hunt this year, please let us know how it went. Also let us know if you have any other suggestions to make it an even more successful event.

Sensory Friendly Easter Egg Hunt (Part 1)

By

No need to have children on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing issues be excluded from Easter egg hunts.  Sensory friendly Easter egg hunts are a great activity to include all children. However in the past, many special needs friends were excluded. Now Easter egg hunts can be made for kids with sensory issues.

There are several ways you can create an Easter egg hunt that is sensory friendly. Loud music should not be played. The more open space to move around, the better. You may want to limit the number of children participating at once so it does not end up being too crowded. Placing the eggs in easy to find spaces can be helpful too.

What should you put in the plastic eggs so neurodivergent children with sensory processing issues can all enjoy? Check back here next time for the creative and surprising answer!

Parents Agree: Y3K Tutor In Your Home Changes Lives #2

PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES

“Our son is an incredibly hard worker with a neurologically based learning disability. When he was “drowning” in math nearly two years ago, we reached out to the owner of Y3K Tutor In Your Home. We watched his grades and self-confidence take off. The tutor’s unimpeachable professionalism and patience have made an enormous difference in our son’s life, allowing him to work toward and maintain consistently high grades. These excellent grades have begun to move him into the mainstream curriculum in just his first year of high school! I have recommended Y3K Tutor In Your Home without hesitation to any and all who ask how all of this happened for a once-tearful child who had despaired of ever “learning like other kids”. I tell them that it’s because the tutor meets children where they are so that they can in their own time and way, get where they want to go. All of our son’s present and former teachers remain delighted and astonished by his growth as an enthusiastic, independent learner, who now faces new challenges “head on”. This is a level of confidence that now informs his every endeavor. We couldn’t be happier and wish the same for all struggling students and worried parents.”

Organizational Skills Make All The Difference

By

Y3K Tutor In Your Home often receives phone calls and emails by parents all the time asking us to help their students with organizational skills. These skills can be the difference between a poor student and a successful student. Children without organizational skills more often than not, tend to fall behind and suffer with low grades. They have trouble keeping track of assignments and/or constantly losing things.

Over the next several posts we will offer some organization tips just in time for the new school year.
