Tutoring Assistance Program

The Tutoring Assistance Program (TAP) is a United Way funded project sponsored by the Learning Disabilities Association of PEI. The TAP program offers children suspected of or diagnosed with a learning disability and/or ADHD the opportunity to receive one-on-one tutoring from a certified teacher for once a week for twenty weeks.  TAP is a homework-based program that provides the opportunity to explore and utilize Assistive Technology according to individual needs.  The last tutoring session will be for parents.  The Tutoring Program Coordinator will provide helpful strategies that worked well for each child’s specific needs.

Tutoring Assistance Program Participation Criteria:

  • Diagnosed with a Learning Disability and/or ADHD;
  • If suspected of having a Learning Disability and/or ADHD, the child must be placed on the waiting list for a Psycho-Educational Assessment at the School Board Level or waiting to see a Private Psychologist for a Psycho-Educational Assessment.
The Tutoring Assistance Program will keep a waiting list for those who meet the participation criteria on a ‘first come first serve’ basis.

The program fee is $100.00 and is collected at the beginning of the program.  The tutoring fee can be claimed on income tax with a diagnosis of a learning disability and/or ADHD.
