Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Tutoring
For over 15 years, families have relied on our specialized learning programs for students with ASD.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder affecting how individuals process information, impacting behaviour, social interactions, and communication skills. ASD exists on a spectrum, meaning each person with autism experiences its challenges to varying degrees. ASD manifests through unique reactions to social interactions, communication patterns, repetitive behaviours, and focused interests. Typically diagnosed before age three, children with autism may demonstrate specific responses to sensory stimuli and disruptions to routine. Challenges with social cues, emotional understanding, communication, language, and flexibility of thinking are common across the spectrum of autism.
Ways Autism May Impact Schooling:
-
Difficulty with Executive Functioning: Executive functioning skills, such as organization, planning, and time management, may be challenging for children with autism. They may struggle to prioritize tasks, follow multi-step instructions, or manage their time effectively, leading to difficulties completing assignments or staying on task.
-
Challenges with Attention and Focus: Many children with autism have difficulties with attention and focus, which can affect their ability to engage in classroom activities and absorb new information. They may become easily distracted by sensory stimuli or have trouble filtering out irrelevant information, making it harder for them to concentrate on schoolwork.
-
Understanding Abstract Concepts: Children with autism may have difficulty grasping abstract or conceptual ideas, such as symbolism in literature or advanced math concepts. They may prefer concrete, tangible information and struggle with tasks that require abstract thinking or problem-solving skills.
-
Sensory Sensitivities: Sensory sensitivities can also impact academic performance. Children with autism may be hypersensitive to certain sensory stimuli in the classroom environment, such as fluorescent lighting or background noise, which can cause discomfort or overwhelm them, making it difficult to focus on learning tasks.
-
Communication Challenges: Language difficulties can pose significant barriers to academic success. Children with autism may struggle to express themselves verbally or understand written or spoken instructions. This can impact their ability to participate in classroom discussions, comprehend reading materials, or complete written assignments.

2023-08-07We have used TutorBright for both of our children. The tutor we had was engaging, informative and developed a good working relationship with the children. Both my children have a form of dyslexia and with the support of the weekly tutoring they have increased their grades but most importantly confidence and were always happy to have the lesson. We will look to continue going forward and we highly recommend

2023-08-18I can't say enough about our experience with TutorBright. We were impressed right from the beginning when we received our first call in order for TutorBright to gather information and learn more about what we were looking for in a tutor for our daughter. They asked great questions and explained that they wanted to make the best match possible. Shortly after the initial call we received an email proposing a match and provided information regarding the tutor's background and availability (that matched the availability we previously provided to them). We felt that it was a good match so we approved! We were sent information to train on the platform used by TutorBright prior to the first session, which was very helpful. The platform was extremely intuitive and easy to navigate. I knew within 10 minutes into the first tutoring session that my daughter was well-matched. Her tutor really took the time to get to know her both as a student as a person (interests, hobbies, etc.). He always started their sessions off with questions about her interests and followed up on items they spoke about the week prior. He made sure to tailor the sessions around subjects she had an interest in. She looked forward to each session and the entire hour was always fully maximized. TutorBright followed up regularly to ensure we remained happy with the service and our tutor. I would highly recommend TutorBright for any parent/guardian wishing for the child to have extra support

2023-07-14TutorBright was amazing for our son, we had him in another tutoring program and he made more progress in 8 sessions with TutorBright than he did in almost 2 years with the other program. My son loved his teacher and even got really sad when his sessions were done because he wouldn’t get to see her anymore. I can not recommend them enough!
