The
Center for School Success (CSS) helps students, teachers
and parents understand and manage specific breakdowns in learning.
CSS services shift the
focus from what individual students can’t do, to what they can do
and provide strategies to promote self-advocacy and school success.

At
the Center for School Success (CSS) we believe that
students need to know how they learn best; teachers
need to know how to address the unique strengths
and needs of all their students; and parents need to know how to
support their children’s learning strengths and challenges.
