THE COLLEGE OF NEW ROCHELLE
GRADUATE SCHOOL EDUCATION CENTER
TO OFFER TWO FALL PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN

NEW ROCHELLE, NY, August 12, 2004 – Fall registration is now underway at The College of New Rochelle’s Graduate School Education Center for two programs: 1) “Can Do” Program for elementary school age children; and 2) Speech and Language Evaluation and Therapy Program for students in preschool to 8th grade
   
The “Can Do” Program, open to elementary school-age children, is one-on-one and is conducted by graduate students in special education, guidance, or school psychology, under the supervision of the Graduate School faculty. Included in this program is thorough educational testing with simultaneous tutoring in reading, math, social studies, and science.  The emphasis is on building learning strategies. Interviews and a final conference are conducted to discuss test findings and progress.

    
The Speech and Language Evaluation and Therapy Program, also for school-age children in a one-on-one setting, is provided by graduate students, under the supervision of the Graduate School faculty.  The focus is on vocabulary, phonics, understanding and following directions, comprehension of oral and written information, and formulating grammatically correct sentences.

   
Space is limited for all programs.  For further information or to register, call Marjorie Scholnick, Director of the Education Center, at 914-654-5333 by Monday, September 13.
