Cedars Academy   border= The program at the Cedars Academy is based upon our understanding of the nature of the learning problems of the students we enroll. We present a process-oriented method which places the same degree of responsibility on the teacher to develop successful teaching style as it places on the student to develop a successful learning style. The student who attends the Cedars Academy tends to encounter difficulties in the classroom with peers, and among family members. These difficulties arise because our students perceive information differently from others, and tend not to select the relevant details when processing information.

ADHD: What It Is, What It Isn’t  The term ADHD rolls off the tongues of anxious parents, doctors and educators with practiced ease, yet its meaning and affect on children is widely misunderstood. That’s partly because research is still homing in on the disorder—really a big basket of symptoms. Some researchers think this basket contains several different disorders. Adding to the misunderstanding, ADHD (Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder) is often blamed when anxiety, depression or the frustration or a learning disorder is what’s really wrong.
