Supporting research

The programs provided by Rocky Point Academy have been designed to address as many areas of learning and types of learners as possible.  This allows us to address the varied strengths of each individual and to develop areas of weakness.  Our  methods are supported by leading research in the fields of education and psychology.  Research supports that people with dyslexia, ADD or autism will typically benefit from a variety of instructional approaches.  The following explains how our programs fit into this research.
