My 9-year-old son suffered from encephalitis and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. We had a difficult time finding a learning center in Las Vegas, NV to meet his needs. I'm a PICU nurse and college nursing instructor, so I understood what he needed to help with his recovery. He needed help on multiple levels including his primitive reflexes, reading, spelling, focus, core strength, auditory and visual processing, and tools to cope with his emotions. Stowell Learning Center was recommended to us by my son's audiologist, Dr. Pamela Best. There is not one doctor in Las Vegas who tests for auditory processing disorder. We have only been with Stowell Learning Center for almost a month. We travel there once a month, but we predominately complete his treatments at home and consult with a representative from the center once a week. My husband and I have seen big changes. My son was going to the nurse's office 3 to 4 times a week prior to visiting the center for his anxiety and fatigue. He was sucking on things and chewing paper. He has not been to the nurse's office since the New Year! He is more focused in school and with homework. He is emotionally more stable and can reason better. The treatment is time consuming on the parent, but it is worth it. The representatives at the learning center have been patient and flexible with me. I have even received tips on helping my son get more organized. I can't give enough positive words to the staff at Stowell Learning Center. I highly recommend this place, especially if your child has suffered from a head injury or has ADHD. My son was diagnosed with ADHD post the head injury. He is not on medications right now, and I hope to keep it that way. Liz is AMAZING at the center. She is extremely knowlesgable and will get to the root of the problem with learning problems (and more!). read more

I love Stowell. It is so amazing. I think for kids who have learning disabilities or anything else that they need help with it truly does help I went there, but I am actually gonna go back tomorrow. Tomorrow is my first day going back, but I literally love this place so much. I definitely recommend it is so helpful. I've learned a lot and it's just crazy to think how it helps your brain when you're like. I feel like that's not gonna help my brain or not gonna help me learn but it really does, everybody so nice and helpful and just amazing. And I love you guys so so much and it was so fun to go there and I am so excited to go tomorrow. But anyways, definitely recommend this place. It is amazing words cannot describe it. It's my heart that describes this place. from student Priscilla. read more

Love Stowell Learning center! I have taken my sweet foster daughter for the RGM class. I would love to have her in the full program but haven't been able to get it funded yet. I've got a friend who had their FASD kiddo in the program and raves about the program and results. They've got a new RGM class for kids starting soon...definitely worth checking out! read more

I emailed this center and they scheduled me a consult over the phone. I did not get a call from them until the day after my scheduled appointment. I asked the gal why they were calling me the next day, and she just apologized for the late call. I was quoted $395 for assessment, and had to give them $100 fee on the call before I hung up if I wanted an appointment, which I gave them. Now that I am filling out the forms (online before assessment), it says the fee for assessment is $595. I did ask that after assessment, how much would it cost for any given program and I was quoted anywhere from $800 a month to $1800, depends on program suggested. I'm bummed that a place that is so expensive does not have everything done in a timely manner. Update: my intake was good, I will update when program is complete. I have faith this program will help. read more

My son has been coming here about a month and loves it. He's really improved in comprehension at school and comes home excited to tell me what he's learned. It's a lot of work making sure he comes here 4 times a week plus at home exercises and the listening program, but I'm seeing big improvements in his academics and his ability to communicate his thoughts and retain information. read more

Stowell Learning Center - Tutoring Centers Near Me - Chino, California

My name is Adalyn Smith and I just finished my training with Stowell Center with the Chino location. From the past 9 months I have seen my confidence level grow, my stress levels decrease and my overall academic experience has become much better! Training has allowed me to think more logically and develop my reasoning skills even more! I study differently and approach problems in a more effective way. My clinician is Laura Cisneros and she is amazing! She knows how to help me with difficult brain exercises and really think problems through. Overall I highly recommend taking training from them. If you have any questions, please reach out to me on my Auditory Processing account on Instatgram @advocate4apd. Thanks! read more

Since his time at Stowell, my son's behavior has absolutely improved. He is much more confident, knows how to manage his emotions and reflect on his behavior. He completes his school work as well as all of his tasks/chores at home. Alex was wonderful! She was kind, patient, warm and caring. As parents, we also learned ways to help our son work through his emotions and manage his reading and comprehension. Highly recommend SLC!! read more

Erica has been my son's clinician this year, and helped strengthen his auditory processing skills, reading comprehension and study skills. She would review my son's progress each month and make recommendations to improve his ability to learn. We're grateful for her help!! read more

If ever you were thinking of investing in your child's future, this is the place to do it! Although there is no quick and easy answer when it comes to parenting, Stowell is definitely a resource to be reckoned with. When it comes to furthering your child's comprehension or solidifying their life skills, Stowell is unmatched in their ability to bring it all together in a fun way. At first reluctant, my son now wants to attend his sessions because, at only 11yrs old, he sees the difference in his learning and social skills. He finally feels confident and proud of himself! Thank you ERICA for helping him to get to this point! read more

We are extremely happy with the results and service our daughter received from Stowell! The staff is ALL helpful and friendly! We especially thank LIZ for her dedication to the growth of our daughters learning abilities. After 2 years her confidence and willingness to learn has increased so much that words can't describe how thankful we are to Stowell and Liz! The book by Jill Stowell "At wits end" was an eye opener and we gave her teachers a copy! We need more copies to give to her teacher next year as our daughter went from not being able to fully function in a classroom to being promoted out of Elementary School and into middle school with pride with her head held high! Thanks Again LIZ and Stowell read more

I will make it quick and to the point. You take a test before and after the course($500 for the test, $1,000 for the books) The school is taught by part time college students, not PhD candidates. They cost $90/hr. My son went the full 6 month course. His test revealed he was "almost" there and just needed a little bit. And you ask what do you get for $13,000 and 6 months of driving in traffic back and forth? 2% better. 2% BETTER!!! Dont worry, Ms. Stowell tells you, you can now join the advanced summer session for 4 hrs a day, for another $10,000. Why didnt we start with the "advanced" session first? BECAUSE THEY ARE ROBBING YOU!!! The entire course is based on playing cards, stretching on the floor, and listening to classical music every night with head phones. I kid you not. And the owner, Ms. Stowell, she has her own problems, after day one, she will NEVER SAY A WORD TO YOU AGAIN. You will see her ever time you are there but she will NOT even acknowledge you or even say hello. Dont waste your money read more

Our daughter was really struggling with school. An assessment at Stowell showed she had moderate dyslexia. After just one year at Stowell, she has made a complete 180 and recently got the best report card of her life. The program WORKS! She has new confidence that is helping her with every aspect in life. Simply amazing. read more

My daughter has been attending stowell for 2 months now and we see a big difference in her behavior already!!! She calms herself quicker now, she is not such a wiggle worm anymore and she has not come home from school with so many empty papers this year. We have also not gotten as many melt down notices from the teachers ( except when it comes to beattles). Kasey and francisca are wonderful!!! The rest of the the staff are very nice also. We still have a ways to go in our program but the difference in our daughter is noticeable. read more

Dale is very patient and cares about his students. Thanks for giving my son the confidence and necessary techniques to succeed. read more

This is only the best tutoring place in Chino Hills or Chino area. Strongly encourage and recommend for any child that is struggling in school, or preschool. They not only help with coping strategies of learning they also play and make your child more than comfortable with the process. read more

I offer five stars even though I don't have knowledge of other similar learning centers. However, it is tough to imagine that the caring and professional staff at Stowell isn't as good as it gets. My child is dyslexic and since starting at Stowell, we have noticed a steady improvement in his reading and we are optimistic that in time, he will reach grade level. Just as important, the clinicians pay attention to more than just test scores. If confidence and self-esteem issues are getting in the way, the clinicians address them - which is critical for kids with learning challenges. Like many parents of kids with LDs, we were very concerned about making the right choices to help our child and by enrolling him at Stowell Learning Center, we believe we made a very good choice. read more

The Stowell Learning is special because they get to the root of the problem and work to permanent fix the problem, not just stick a bandaid on it. When my son was having attention problems, the Stowell Learning Center staff looked to find the reason the attention problem existed. All the activities the center has him do are directed at ensuring that those problems are corrected to ensure the attention problem is corrected. The staff is caring and supportive. I've seen much improvement in my son since we began going to Stowell and are very thankful to SLC! read more

Our son has shown so much progress since joining the SLC program. In school, he raised both his writing and comprehension grades from a C- to an A and B respectively. His teacher and his baseball coaches noticed a difference with his improved listening skills. We rarely have to repeat directions to him at home anymore. There are some days when he doesn't feel like going to SLC but no matter how he feels before going, he always comes out with a really positive attitude and happy. His self-confidence has improved tremendously both socially as well as in sports. He is a hard worker with a big heart. It warms our hearts to see him improving in areas that he never felt he could do well in. On behalf of my wife, teachers and coaching staff, I'd like to thank Laura and the SLC staff for working with him so diligently. read more

Stowell is an amazing place. My son has been going here for over 2 years and has made huge improvements. Veronica is the best and has been so helpful to our family. All of the teachers and all of the staff truly care about the students and the parents as well. They have not only taught my son so much, but they have taught my husband and I how to deal with him in the best way possible. We are so grateful to have found Stowell. read more

After only 125 hours, Stowell Learning Center has increased my daughter's communication skills tremendously. She has a severe stutter and has been in traditional speech therapy for 11 years with no significant improvement. At Stowell, she has used rhythm therapy and visualizing techniques to improve her ability and willingness to communicate. They offer a variety of techniques to address each student individually. Their results are amazing and the whole environment is warm and caring. If your school can't successfully teach your child, you should look into Stowell Learning Center as an option. read more

My fourteen year old son has been in Stowell's Long Distance Learning Program for a year now and I have seen wonderful results. He has Asperger's Syndrome and is very intelligent but really struggled to get what he was thinking onto paper. Seventh grade was a tough year for us. I pretty much carried him through that year. I was truly at my whit's end and had no idea how to help when I came upon Jill's book, At Whit's End. I realized that I couldn't do everything for my son forever as one day, he will move out, go to college, and be on his own. However, I didn't know what to do to help him out. We had tried other services with little success. I am so glad that I decided to give Stowell a try! Stowell is an excellent comprehensive program and well worth it. My son just finished his eighth grade year with straight As! Now, he still worked extremely hard for those grades, and he did have some struggles, but the difference this year was that we both had the tools we needed to work through any problems that came up. The other big difference was that this year, he was able to take the lead. I did have to step in with some coaching now and then, but nothing like last year where I took the lead and pretty much told him what to write. He is now able to work much more independently and it has made a huge difference! He is also much more confident. The staff at Stowell are amazing and truly care about my son's success, and he and I both love Liz, his learning advisor. Starting my son with Stowell is, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I have ever made. read more

Stowell has given my son the tools to be a successful and confident student. My son is entering his junior year in high school and has been enrolled at Stowell for about five months. I have seen tremendous improvement in his memory, his reading skills, and he complains significantly less about school. His clinician, Rayanne has given him steady guidance and encouragement. He has learned so much with her whether how to transfer learned information to tests or retaining information for long periods of time. I strongly recommend Stowell. read more

Stowell Learning Center (SLC) has helped our granddaughter tremendously. Other places we tried could not even test Alyssa. However, SLC was able to test, level set, and help Alyssa's reading skills, her attitude, her confidence. SLC takes a holistic approach by both physical and mental exercises and helping those that can't focus to focus. Laura, our therapist, is absolutely awesome. When Alyssa started, she would only growl at strangers where now through constant introductions to all the therapists and other students she now introduces herself and holds a conversation. Alyssa has learned phonics and has been beginning to read. In first grade, her improvement in subjects varied from 800% to 1,400%. Alyssa has won art contests and will have a winner hanging at the LA Fair this year, although she used to just growl at the teacher not that long ago. Alyssa can now sit and focus the entire hour on art in art class. SLC also enlists music therapy to grow the synapse in the brain. All of these strategies are enlisted by Laura with testing and consistent feedback to us. I could go on but the bottom line is if you have tried other places for your child to no avail, please look into Stowell Learning Center. In talking with the other parents, most had given up on helping their children until they heard about Stowell. We heard about it from someone else as well. We are truly satisfied with everything that Stowell has done with Alyssa and Alyssa enjoys going. Does it get any better than that? read more
