Description

Parents of special needs children know how hard their children work to master new skills. It can be heartrending when hard-won progress evaporates. Summer can present a particular dilemma to those with learning challenges. The freedom, recreation, and fun is something we all look forward to, but this break from learning can result in the loss or critical academic skills--something that may have a lasting impact on their educational development. "Summer learning loss" is the regression that takes place between when children leave classrooms in June and when they return in September. A meta-analysis of summer learning loss studies by Dr. Harris Cooper of Duke University concluded that students lose one to three months of academic skills. This loss is not spread equally among all learners. Research shows that students who are at-risk are disproportionately affected, meaning that, on average, they fall further behind during the summer break.
