Is Your Child
Struggling?
Is your child having problems in school? Does he/she have difficulty listening, fol
lowing directions or doing homework? He/she may fight frustration every day and
may even have been called lazy, unmotivated or a “student at risk...”
PACE can identify and successfully treat learning
problems that are often reflected in the following
behaviors:
%
• Is unable to sit still; cannot stay on task for any length of
time; is easily distracted
• Avoids work that seems complicated or hard
• Has difficulty comprehending and remembering
• Has problems sounding out words
• Does written work very slowly; often fails to complete task
• Has difficulty copying material; constantly looks up and
down
• Often needs instructions repeated
• Has trouble reading and speHing
• Makes reversals - for example: confusing the words “was”
and “saw” or the letters “b” and “d”
• Is disorganized and frustrated when studying
• Makes frequent, “careless” errors
Alma Jewell watches as her son, John,
works on some of his PACE procedures.
Mrs. Jewell says that, “John has felt
totally successful in the classroom after
starting his PACE training. He is
enthusiastic about his work and always
reminds me before school when it’s
‘PACE DAY’!”
