Individuals learn in different ways.  It is important to consider the way your child learns when choosing a school. As the parent, you know more than anyone about how your child learns.  These questions will help you focus your knowledge about your child:

• Does your child like to draw or doodle while listening to someone talk?
   
• Does your child like to touch things and take them apart to see how they work?
   
• Does your child like things very orderly and in a predictable routine?
   
• Does your child like to think out loud or does your child like to think things through completely before talking?
   
• Does your child need a quiet place to concentrate?
   
• Does your child like many things going on at once or prefer to do one thing at a time?
   
• Does your child prefer to work with others or work alone?
   
• Does your child always need to know why or does your child accept things without many questions?
   
• Does your child like to try doing new things without asking for help?
   
• Can you give your child a general instruction or does your child prefer very detailed instructions?
   
• Does your child need to be active and moving while thinking?
   
• Does your child prefer a highly competitive or a noncompetitive environment?
