Zions Hope Inc dba Restored Hope Remedial Services

Restored Hope begins with an extensive testing regimen to discover the root causes of each individual's learning disabilities. We spend 7-8 hours testing each client using primarily nationally-recognized, normed diagnostic tests which have been designed to see how the brain receives, processes, stores, and retrieves information. Based on test results and a careful consideration of symptoms, causes are identified. The test results, diagnosis, and treatment plan are carefully explained to parents—a process which usually takes approximately 3 hours.

Restored Hope wants the public to be informed about advances in treating learning difficulties. We offer half-day seminars for a nominal fee to cover lunch and informational material. The seminars explain how the brain receives, processes, stores, and retrieves information, what kind of underlying dysfunctions cause learning disabilities, how to test for these dysfunctions, and what can be done to correct the underlying causes of learning disabilities. We present informational classes through the local public library system, and offer free public speaking to interested groups. All testing is followed by a lengthy conference to ensure that parents understand what their child is struggling with, and what can be done to overcome those difficulties. We provide consultations free of charge, both to parents and to representatives of schools and organizations. We publish a quarterly informational newsletter.

Restored Hope Academy provides a "lifeline for learning". With small class sizes (teacher-student ratio of 1 to 8) and reasonable tuition fees, it is a viable alternative for parents seeking help for their child with learning disabilities. The Academy is a special place where skilled teachers and trained clinicians work hand-in-hand to address learning needs. Enrollment is limited to children with diagnosed learning disabilities in grades 1 through 6. Because enrollment is limited, students with learning needs need not feel "different" from their peers. Classroom instruction is highly individualized using specialized curriculum when appropriate. Every student works regularly with clinicians from Remedial Services to ensure that learning difficulties are corrected rather than just compensated for. Our ultimate goal is to successfully integrate students back into a standard classroom setting.
