✏️"After my son was diagnosed with a learning disability in grade two, we began the long journey to find him the best resources possible.  We tried many centres and professionals, but we did not see big improvements.  Fortunately, we were referred to The Literacy Clinic.  It has been a life-changer for our son, and our family.  Three years later, his reading/writing, self-esteem, and confidence have improved tremendously as a result of the excellent intervention he received from this group of awesome professionals.  Thank you, Laura, for your support and dedication, and a big thank you to all the educators for their professionalism, passion, kindness, and empathy.

"Teresa, your words touch our hearts!  We know Alejandro to be a hard-working student; one who 'does what it takes, not merely what is convenient' (our motto).  It is not easy to attend his lessons after a long day at school, yet Alejandro gets online with a positive attitude, a warm smile, and a readiness to get to work.  You have done a great job raising him, mama; this strong work-ethic is born in the home!  Alejandro's commitment to his learning will take him anywhere he wants to go, and lead him to be anything he wants to be.  As always, we thank you for allowing us this opportunity to help Alejandro reach his fullest potential.  We love him to bits, and he makes us proud!

✏️"Attached is Callum’s report card, which is a work of art!  Callum absolutely loves Justin, and has connected with him on many levels.  It is the teacher/student relationship I was hoping for when we first spoke.  We are very proud of his hard work, but we honestly could not do it without the guidance of the Literacy Clinic and especially, Justin.  Thank you for all that you do for our son; we could not do this journey without you!"

~N.F.

"We appreciate your kind words, Nicole.   
We are delighted with Callum's steady gains; his progression is a direct reflection of his strong work ethic, tenacity, and perseverance.  There is no doubt that becoming a excellent reader takes time and effort.  Callum demonstrates that he is willing to do what it takes to reach his objectives. Thank you for making reading and writing proficiency a priority in your home!"

~L.S.
 
 
✏️"This is by far the best intervention available.  We have used many other services to help our daughter learn how to read, but unfortunately, with not much success.  My daughter's classroom teacher and resource team recommended we register asap.  (There is a waiting list, and I totally understand why!)  We only wished we knew about The Literacy Clinic sooner. 
 
Honesty, total transparency, and a committed team of professionals.  We know she is in capable hands and is on her way to becoming a proficient reader-we see a huge difference already.  Not sure what we would have done without you, thank you for your ongoing support."

This morning she is asking if she can just go to Hudson Literacy Clinic instead of school. Your special magic has already won her over, and she loved Skooter. Thank you for welcoming her! I know she is starting at a lower level, but by wanting to try, I know she is fiesty and has it in her to learn!

	✏️"We've tried several different types of services in the past with unsatisfactory results.  A psychologist recommended we try HLC, and we are quite impressed with the results thus far.  Staff is patient and knowledgeable and administration is always upfront and honest.  My husband and I cannot begin to explain how wonderful it is to finally have someone explain the gaps in our daughter's learning in clear and concise terms.  Very supportive to families."

I was concerned about the commute at the beginning but it turned out to be totally worth it!"



	~J.L.



	 



	✏️We greatly appreciate all you have done for Sage. We have had an immensely positive experience at the HLC and Sage has grown exponentially because of the specific programming and dedication of his educators. I thank you and everyone involved from the bottom of my heart. HLC had been an important part of unlocking Sage's potential. I cannot thank you enough for all the successes we have experienced.

	✏️We wanted to thank you for the amazing Literacy Clinic you've established in Hudson.  It has been such an excellent place for Kate; she has come so far in her reading and perhaps more importantly, in her confidence.  We love Mme Lucie and are so grateful for her soft and gentle encouragement with Kate.  Kate has learned new strategies that are paying off in many ways and her report card this semester is just one glimpse of that.  All this to say, we LOVE the Hudson Literacy Clinic and are so grateful for it!

	✏️"I just wanted to say that I absolutely love how happy Lorenzo is walking out of the clinic every week!  I’ve noticed that he is continually wanting to try, and practices his reading consistently.  Yesterday in the car, he says, 'I really like Miss Lindsey, she is a lot of fun, and she is very nice.' Then he got quiet for a while.  Five minutes later he spoke up,  'Mom, I'd really like to bring Miss Lindsey a coffee or hot chocolate for next time, and it has to come out of my own money, ok?'  This was quite something, as Lorenzo usually asks to use my money…but for Miss Lindsey, he is willing to spend his own!" ?

	✏️"Matthew recently completed his placement exams for high school. He scored very well:  Maths test 90% and French reading/comprehension A and C respectively.  It has been a long, but thoroughly enjoyable experience.  Matthew has progressed so much, and we can’t thank you enough.  It is a testament to you and your staff that not once in all the time that he has been a part of this journey, has he ever not wanted to go.  I will continue to sing your praises to anyone we encounter who is in need of support.  Thank you!"
