Bryan
Case Study, by alex@smallprojectsbureau.com
- Watch Bryan’s mother talk about his transformation with Fit Learning Online..
- 6th grader enrolled in a private Christian academy in the southern region of the US
- Classified as learning disabled
- Parents sought an evaluation through Fit Learning due to concerns about Bryan’s pervasive skills deficits in reading, spelling, math, critical thinking, problem solving, and expressive writing.
- He was also struggling psychologically at school and had begun to withdraw from school, friends and family.
- A comprehensive evaluation was conducted, which included Reading, Math and Logic skills.
- Results indicated that Bryan’s skills deficits in all academic areas could be traced back to the early primary grades.
- Bryan was performing in the lower quartile (i.e., 30th percentile or below) at the 3rd grade level across all standard reading, spelling, comprehension, math, and expressive writing assessments.
- Together, these results indicated that Bryan was more than 3 years behind in all academic areas.
- Bryan was withdrawn from his current school placement and enrolled in a full-day homeschool placement with Fit Learning Online.
- Following one year of online Fit Homeschool:
- Bryan achieved fluency on hundreds of foundational reading, spelling, math, comprehension, grammar, and expressive writing skills.
- He gained 4 grade levels across all academic domains in one year of Fit Homeschool.
- At the end of his homeschool year, he was performing in the middle to upper quartile (50th to 99th percentile) on 7th-grade-level standard academic assessments (as compared to Intake where he performed at the lower quartile on 3rd-grade-level standard academic assessments).
- After his homeschool year, Bryan returned to his previous school placement for 7th grade.
- By his 8th grade year, he was enrolled in all honors-level classes.
- For 9th grade, he was accepted into an elite New England boarding school where he achieved high honors in his first semester.
- The figures above reflect Bryan’s growth on academic assessments throughout his Fit Homeschool enrollment.
