Come and see the new and different learning center in Fort Collins. 
We have the keys to unlock the blocks to learning. 

After Mary worked with my 12 year old son who struggled with reading in school, I was amazed that my son came home and started reading for pleasure. He began a middle school book series and could not wait for me to go back to the library to get him the sequel to each of the books. This was a complete turnaround for my son who had previously refused to do any reading outside of the required school books.

  • What if there were keys to unlock your child's learning difference at the source?
  • What if in the process your child became empowered to choose to live every aspect of his/her life with joy and ease?
  • What if your child could know that being different is wonderfully magnificent and he/she begins to embrace being different in a whole new way?
It is natural for children to follow their curiosities about life through a learning process. This process is initiated by the child’s desire to learn about their environment as well as what peaks their individual interest.  Children playing and exploring their world is learning at its best.
  • What happens to children when they enter a system of learning that is more structured and doesn’t support their interests?
  • How many children become labeled because they learn differentlyand yet have so much to offer?
As children are labeled, whether it is a diagnosis or a family trait, they often tend to take that on as what defines them, their behavior, and their learning. These then begin to show up in patterns, attitudes and behaviors that translate to teachers and parents as a learning disability or difficulty. Now all parties involved are feeling frustrated because learning is not happening. The child is beginning to feel more and more like a victim, a failure, an outcast, etc. The teachers and parents without knowing it often contribute to those feelings through their reactions.
  • What is a parent to do? 
  • What is a child to do? 
  • Is the situation hopeless?
  • What will become of students who continue in this situation? 
  • How do families cope with the stress?
                                                                             
 Rest assured there is hope. There is a learning center that understands these differences and issues all too well. Mary Dravis-Parrish is the director of Access for Knowledge Fort Collins Learning Center and it is because of these issues that she started Access for Knowledge. Mary has worked with families both in the educational setting as well as in private practice distraught by the struggles of learning.By the time a child has reached this stage, the issue is not just about learning, it is about how the child sees himself/herself. These issues show up in the patterns, attitudes and behaviors that are demonstrated through the educational process.
  • Trouble with focusing
  • Shutting down
  • Anger/frustration
  • Incomplete work
  • Failure to follow through
  • Lack of organization
  • Withdrawing/daydreaming
  • Acting out/overtly shy
And the list goes on. At Access for Knowledge we are trained to identify these patterns and behaviors and address them with the child and offer tools for a different choice. Because many of these kids have adopted other people’s ideas about who they are and how they learn, they don’t realize that they can choose something else; something that works for them. The center focuses on applying these skills in the learning environment. Given practice, the kids begin to take on more of who they are with confidence and ease and apply that not only to learning, but to other areas of their lives like relationships.
Watching these transformations, which are life-changing, is what excites Mary about having the center available to students who desire to achieve not only academic success but tools that promote personal growth now and into the future. Happy kids can go on and have a future of ease and joy. 

  Parents, teachers, counselors and other interested parties are invited to schedule a 30 minute tour of the center to learn more about Access for Knowledge. Call us at 481-7853 to schedule a time for a tour or for FREE testing.
