Project Title: Promoting literacy levels for at-risk children with learning disabilities.
Project Description:

Project mission
This project aims to promote literacy levels amongst students from economically poor backgrounds with learning disabilities (i.e. students who have been diagnosed with dyslexia, central auditory processing disorder, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and ADD).

Expected outcomes:
i. Improved literacy levels in language and math.
ii. Improved self-esteem, self-confidence, and social skills.
iii. Improved parent’s participation in supporting their children’s early literacy and learning needs

Brief description of the project
Studies show that learning disabilities affect 20% of the US population (1 in 5), while in Louisiana,13% have been diagnosed with a learning disability.
Though students with learning disabilities are as smart as their peers and can achieve a high level with the right support, too often, they lack specialized support , and leave school with a certificate of completion, instead of a regular diploma, or drop out out altogether.
Additionally, between 24% and 52% of children with learning disabilities also exhibit signs of behavior problems that may affect their performance. Though interested in learning, they struggle to behave appropriately when placed in a reading group with peers, throw tantrums when they become frustrated with reading or solving academic problems, skip school frequently, or drop out to avoid the challenges they face in school.
To further its mission of promoting education, one of ACOH’s programs focuses on empowering students with learning disabilities through literacy support and mentoring to improve their skills in reading and math, and social skills.
We are therefore seeking funding to meet the cost of program supplies.

Beneficiaries
The direct beneficiaries of this program are 22 students with learning disabilities from Kenner, LA (Grades 4-6). These pupils are from Title 1 public schools in poor neighborhoods recommended by their teachers and parents.

Total Project Budget: 14,750

Project Duration: 12 months(1 year)
Geographical Area Served: Kenner,Jefferson Parish,LA
Age Group To Be Served: 5 t0 14 years
