About
Partners in Achievement is a group of experienced professionals who are passionate about helping children, adolescents and adults get to the root causes of learning and achievement struggles. We have been assessing and correcting processing problems and learning deficiencies in children, adolescents and adults for more than 14 years.
Through our programs at Partners in Achievement, we work to retrain cognitive functions that contribute to learning struggles. Weaknesses in cognitive skills are often the underlying causes of poor performance at school and work. We target these underlying issues in order to retrain the brain to learn more quickly and efficiently.
If you've tried traditional tutoring, or are considering it, have you ever asked yourself why tutoring is needed? Our programs are different from traditional tutoring in that we target the underlying reasons why tutoring is often needed in the first place. Instead of taking the "Band-Aid" approach of providing extra instruction in specific subject areas, we work to find out what is causing the struggle, and we FIX IT!
Our mission is simple: to help students "Build Better Brains" by addressing auditory and visual processing difficulties, attention problems, processing speed delays, and poor memory. These are often the root causes of learning struggles. We achieve our mission through well-founded, well-researched, proven processing skills training programs.
At PIA, WE BUILD BETTER BRAINS FOR BETTER LEARNING!

This program has helped our son so much with his self-esteem. He is able to concentrate better and doesn't give up and get frustrated as easily. His confidence is much improved. He tends to want to work more independently and is eager to research things that interest him.

My son's schoolwork has improved along with his self-image. He is much more conscientious with his work and more concerned about doing well. He is more consistent with his work. Just as importantly, he sees his own improvement. His teachers had always told us that he was "smart", but it was when he started working through the levels of PACE assignments that HE began to believe that. I really wish we had done this sooner

My son struggled with reading and worked very hard in school, but mostly made B's and C's. His math grades were good, but he made mistakes in math related to reading questions and understanding what he'd read. Almost immediately after starting the PACE program, we saw improvement with his self-esteem with regard to his schoolwork. The program was stressful for him, but he pushed through and was encouraged when he received his first report card from school. He made all A's! His reading and reading comprehension increased significantly.

PACE has been a blessing for my daughter and for myself. The program has done above and beyond my expectations. The trainer was excellent to my daughter! Our trainer was caring and very knowledgeable at what she does. I would highly recommend this program to any parent and/or school. The office staff is courteous! My daughter is so confident about herself and what she is doing in school. Thank you all so much.
