Frequently Asked Questions

Neuhaus taught me about early intervention. When the school district said wait and see, Neuhaus encouraged me to go forward and get help for him...Mother's intuition tells you something is wrong, but Neuhaus gave me a solution. Ginger Houldsworth 9-Feb-10

to foster understanding of learning difficulties; and
to promote academic success.

Some seminars are presented by our professional teaching staff, others by professionals who are expert in other fields. See the calendar for topics, dates, and registration, or view/print the 2009-10 Resources for Parents Guide for topics and dates.

College Share Program

College Share was founded to help college-bound high school students with learning differences, their parents, and interested professionals gather information to prepare for a successful college experience.

Each year different speakers are invited to present topics such as:

choosing the right college;
legal rights for students with disabilities;
services and programs available for students with disabilities;
accommodations; and
alternatives to a four-year college.

DVDs of previous programs are available in the Collie Library at Neuhaus. See the calendar for dates, topics, and registration.

College Panel

College Panel is a popular annual event sponsored in conjunction with The Briarwood School and The Houston Branch of The International Dyslexia Association (HBIDA). Current college students with diagnosed learning difficulties share their experiences and strategies for college success in a moderated panel discussion.

DVDs of these programs are available in the Collie Library at Neuhaus. See the calendar for this year’s date and registration.
