March 12 through 22, 2023, WWKIDS in collaboration with Dr. Clay of Higher Potential for Learning, and distinguished colleagues, with the assistance of the Windward Institute, and the Haskins Global Literacy Hub assessed almost 250 students from ten (10) schools to include 2 high school students as well as six (6) neuro psychological education evaluations ( three times more than in June 2022), over a ten (10) day period. The students participated in the literacy and pre-screening assessments.
The pre-screening assessments found more than 50% of the students having a profile with more than one learning disability. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD) and Dyslexia were widely observed along with mental issues such as trauma. The literacy assessment findings are concerning.These assessments are to see what the needs of the students are, and how both their parents and teachers can help them learn and achieve. Our hope is to best assist these schools with intervention support.
Thanks to all our sponsors who helped with the success of the initiative, and thanks to all personnel who assisted.
