My autistic son struggles with reading comprehension and attention - and has very much benefitted from the program Lynda put together for him! Multi-step directions like "put the blue hammer between the red block and the green book" was overwhelming to him, but he improved in this skill after going through an online program that targeted this (and other processing tasks). He pays better attention now, and his grammar, spelling, etc. have also improved. My son isn't the easiest kid to work with, and Lynda was very patient with him. He also took a liking to her right away. The other teacher who worked with him was also excellent - and was a certified teacher, not a typical "aide" a school might hire. Thanks Lynda (and staff) for helping get our son back on track in his Reading Comprehension skills! read more

This isn't directly related to any child, however, I wanted to share what a quality person the owner is. I signed up through the dmv website to take my CA written exam on line. Unfortunately I didn't have a laptop with a webcam handy. I called every business and/or library and none of them had computers to rent with cams. I called the learning center and they allowed me to utilize there computer and webcam in a private room free of charge. I still can't believe how kind and accommodating they were? I can only imagine this is how they treat all the parents and children that need the learning center. Thanks again for your kindness. Phil read more

First of all it's hard to find a place that really understands kids needs and works well with them. If your here you know as I do it's such a difficult path to go down. My son is very complicated to say the least. He is ASD, TBI, severe auditory and visual processing, high sensory integration, Irlens Syndrome, extreme anxiety, dyslexia and does not trust anyone. We have not been successful anywhere until here at ELC. Lynda got him in every way and I was taken back. I didn't have to tell her his needs or what we have found that worked for him. She told me and I kept saying yep that's it!!!! She understands how auditory and visual processing affects the ability to learn. They know when to push but not to much. They are looking at body language, fidgeting, behaviors to make sure he is okay. They work with you and your child not against you. One saying that really sticks with me is when Lynda said to me," we are not going to force him to learn our way there are over 20 ways he can learn we just need to figure out which one works best for him." As you can tell I highly, highly recommend ELC. I have referred other parents that have been so frustrated with the access to learning and all live me for recommending ELC. After you speak with Lynda you will understand it all !!!! read more

My daughter struggled with reading (still at the age of 12), and Encinitas Learning Center re-inspired her to WANT to read! Over the course of the program, she actually enjoyed going in to be with her tutors because they made it fun. It was so nice to see her playing learning games when I picked her up, and they gave her plenty of activity breaks during the sessions too. I'm so happy I invested our time and money into this, because now she seems to read with ease, and without so much frustration. I'm so thankful for the team here, because I know they put so much energy and patience into working with their students. read more

Encinitas Learning Center has been such an amazing help for my son this year. My son was able to get help with his school homework assignments on days when he was not attending in person classes at school. All of the staff that work there are wonderful and took the time to get to know my son and his specialized needs. They have a ton of space for all the students that they serve. They understand there are a variety of needs for their students and have a ton of fun things to meet those needs. For example, special chairs for the children, balls to throw around, quiet areas to take a break and do a puzzle for a break. The staff seem to care deeply for the needs of all the children there. I would highly recommend them and I can't thank them enough for all their efforts. Most importantly my son loves going there, even though it involves finishing school work! read more

I had the opportunity to take Lynda's new skills assessment program and really had an eye opener. In order to grow your mental capacity, it is important to have a baseline for your starting point and this new testing is really amazing at doing that. It was cool to see almost autistic dominating strength in one area and complete lack of understanding in other areas. I would highly recommend working with Encinitas Learning Center if you are looking to strengthen in any areas of your mental capacity to enjoy a richer life. read more

My son has shown significant improvements in a short amount of time with the programs offered here. The staff is very caring and goes above and beyond to help you. I wish we had discovered it sooner! read more

All my three children worked with Linda at her center. She basically saved my children's destiny in learning. With an amazing skills and sensitivity she was able to analyze and work with what they truly needed. Not only that they improved dramatically, they became an independent learners thanks to her. I will be deeply grarfull for the center and Linda for all she have given my children and me for the rest of my life. I have tried many methods to help my children with their learning challenges and she was the only one that was able to creat a difference in their skills from the core, to help them feel comfortable with reading and bring their true potential out. I highly recommend the center. read more

My 14 year old daughter has been working with the team, most often with Kristen and Lyndia, at the ELC to get help with improving her language arts skills. Wow, is all I can say. The speed of progress was amazing! We are so pleased and can't thank them enough. They have become more like family and that is the feeling you get when you work with this group. Not only are their skills at helping in the learning process top notch, but they truly care and it helped my daughter feel part of a team instead of odd to be getting help. They touched on, and picked up on not only on the educational part of her being, but also the confidence side of a teen going into High School, and they supported and lifted up both parts in her. She didn't really want to go at first, but ended up loving it and even did an Internship helping with the younger students, and this definitely increased her confidence. I can't say enough about how wonderful the Encintas Learning Center has been for our family, and without question, I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs help in the learning department. Bravo and thanks ladies!!!! Felicia :-) read more
