June Shelton School and Evaluation Center is a private, state-chartered,
non-profit, nondenominational day school for children with specific
language-learning differences. A language-learning different child shall be
defined as a child with average or above-average intelligence, with adequate
vision and hearing, without primary emotional disturbance and who has failed
or is at high risk to fail when exposed to school experiences using conventional
educational techniques. Language-learning differences are the result of auditory
and visual processing dysfunction and include the specific language disorder,
dyslexia, and the related disorders of ADHD, specific math disability, specific
written expression disability, specific oral language disorder, and developmental
motor disorder.
The objectives of the program are the following:
2. Present a coordinated multi-sensorial curriculum designed to develop the
symbolic tools (reading, writing, spelling, speaking, listening, and math)
necessary to gain, retain, and express information;
3. Develop and present a curriculum which increases an awareness of one’s
world (social studies and science);
