"Too many students leave high school with poor study skills. Those students with dyslexia, attention hyperactive deficit disorders, learning disabilities and other learning needs especially don’t have a system for learning. We needed to develop a “Trainer in a Box” that would help our tutors and teachers learn how to teach and AT THE SAME TIME be teaching our students how to learn.”

Out of this need The Multisensorial Study Strategies Took Kit was developed.
Tallahassee Community College turned to Dyslexia Research Institute and formed a partnership to develop this Trainer in a Box. Dyslexia Research Institute has over 35 years of experience working with children and adults with dyslexia, attention hyperactive deficit disorders, and related learning disabilities. They have developed and field tested many materials and strategies which are effective in helping these individuals learn the way they NEED to learn.

“The Tool Kit is a DVD and workbook containing 10 sessions which tutors/teachers work through together with the students. It is very interactive with activities programmed into each session.”
---Robyn Rennick, Dyslexia Research Institute and Tool Kit Developer
The Tool Kit is appropriate for students transitioning from high school to post-secondary training as well as students in college or vocational training.

Stronger Tutoring Skills – A System of Tutoring
|
|
“My tutoring techniques have changed because I listen more actively to the students; I get them to be involved and engage all their senses. I am now more restrained in my assistance; by so saying, I hold myself back when I think I am being in too much control and not allowing enough participation by the student.”
|
|
“This tool kit has made me more aware of how I am organizing and planning my lessons in order to cater to that specific student. Before each tutoring session, I make sure that I mentally prepare everything that I plan to go over with my student. I put a lot more emphasis in teaching and making sure that my student is organized with their materials and time.”

|
“I feel a tremendous relief to benefit from this new study strategy method tool to help me. I conduct more effective studying methods when I’m studying for my exams and I think it works wonderfully because my test grades have improved. So as a student I would recommend to any one that taking these series will help.”
