Diversified Education Services (DES) provides executive functioning and academic support to students with various learning styles. We address all short-term school needs proactively, helping students to understand classroom lessons, complete homework, and learn study skills for tests and quizzes. We also address the long-term goal of student independence by promoting skill development in all academic areas, as well as in the areas of time management, organization, test preparation, and self-advocacy. Learning specialists at DES are trained in the latest findings in education, psychology, and neuroscience so they can provide help to students from K-12 who attend both public and independent schools in Greenwich, CT, and the surrounding areas. We conduct all sessions in a one-on-one environment in your home, so your child will receive systematic, explicit instruction that will directly address their individual needs.
Led by its owner and lead learning specialist, Aron Boxer, DES has expanded from its home base in Greenwich, Connecticut to have a presence all throughout Fairfield and Westchester Counties. Aron previously worked as a special education teacher for the public school system in Greenwich and is the former Director of Special Services for a private school in Greenwich as well. Currently, his full-time venture is running the day-to-day operations of DES, including a dedicated team of learning specialists, executive functioning coaches, and content area experts — including higher-level math and science (AP chemistry, AP Calculus, etc.). Aron and his team of learning specialists all possess post-graduate degrees and certifications in special education. Also, we are different from most other organizations that offer educational services, in that our learning specialists are full-time teachers in accredited schools and have undergone extensive training to provide the most up-to-date strategies to assist students with a variety of learning challenges. DES employs over 30 learning specialists who are content area experts, executive functioning coaches, mentors, and liaisons. They provide support in a nurturing environment that allows students to learn and flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. Confidence and the enhancement of individual strengths are the primary goals for our students. To accommodate our students who require additional support in math and science, DES employs separate content experts who supplement the executive functioning instruction with elite level tutoring.
Since 2009, DES has been successful in working with students with a variety of learning challenges. Some have diagnoses, and others are struggling with an assortment of challenges related to ADHD, executive functioning skills, and other learning issues that are preventing them from feeling successful and achieving their potential. A common thread amongst all of our students is that they are extremely intelligent but are often frustrated and discouraged, especially when their difficulties are perceived as laziness or showing a lack of effort. "Lazy" is a four-letter word used too often to describe these students. We believe that children do not choose to be unsuccessfulbut rather lack the skills in certain areas that prevent them from flourishing. We will provide your child with strategies and insights that are essential in allowing them to feel more successful and confident. Students aren’t the only ones reaping the benefits of our coaching. We also work with parents by providing them with strategies to ease frustration and assist their struggling children. By incorporating our strategies, we seek to improve the parent-child relationship and thus, the child’s confidence. DES’s goal is to promote child growth by providing the interventions and strategies necessary for each student to meet their potential.
Home-based and Zoom sessions are available as well as at our main location in Cos Cob (Greenwich).
