It seems like one of those things you'd have to drive to Ashburn to get, so I'm grateful to have something like it right in Purcellville. We don't do the full after school program as my son is pretty entrenched at Dragon Yong (his friends are there...) but it seems like it's pretty awesome, as you get a different class (piano lessons, science, art) each day.

We searched and spoke to many advocates, and finally found the Weinfeld Education Group. Jennifer, from the team, was wonderful and understanding of our concerns. After introducing her to the IEP team at school we were able to have the differences in his assessment addressed. With adding things such as speech-to-text/text-to-speech, more one on one with educators, and scribing, he was able to perform at grade level, which he was never able to do before. Additionally, he was no longer being penalized for not being able to answer the material he couldn't read. Because of Jennifer and her team's work, my son's demeanor also changed from having to struggle to get him out of his room to go to school to telling us we are running late and that he doesn't need help with his homework. He is still far from being independent, but we no longer have to deal with that emotional pain, thanks to Jennifer.

Try saying that ten times fast! I've volunteered at FLOC for several years, tutoring junior and senior high school students in Math and English.

It has been a fun and rewarding experience for me, helping teens and pre-teens to improve their basic reading and math skills. FLOC is always looking for volunteer tutors. Tutors work one-on-one with students on either Math or English. If you are interested then consider contacting them. Training is provided. FLOC is currently located in Columbia Heights at 1763 Columbia Road, which is about halfway between Columbia Heights on the Green/Yellow lines and Woodley Park/National Zoo on the Red line. The phone number has not changed. More information about FLOC can be found at their web site http://www.flocdc.org/ FLOC also operates an outdoor education center, located near Harpers Ferry, West Virgina.
