Note from the Director

Note from the Director, Ricki London, L.C.S.W

Welcome!

London Achievement Processes is an organization predicated on the fact that although some individuals may struggle academically or socially, there is hope for a brighter, happier outcome. We believe that with the right intervention, everyone can feel success and evolve as a more self confident, independent being.

There are certain underlying processing weaknesses which can and do cause difficulty in reading, spelling, comprehension and writing skills, and these weaknesses may impact several other areas of one's life. Imagine the frustration one goes through when he or she struggles daily in school or professionally, because they do not have the foundational skills to achieve as expected. I'm referring to those kids and adults, who may have an average to above average intelligence level, and yet their performance does not meet their potential. Some are unable to read fluently, while others may read beautifully and yet can not grasp the underlying message. Many parents have explained how their child went from being social and outgoing to sad and isolated because he or she is not succeeding in school. Despite the effort we may put in as parents and educators to make our kids feel strong and loved, the truth is, they compare themselves to the others in class and may feel the strain of falling behind. This sense of inadequacy may develop due to academic struggles, however it will often present in other areas of daily living.

My goal in starting London Achievement Processes is to provide an environment where all individuals will feel success. The path we take to achieve this goal varies for each client, though will consistently include a supportive, structured, and individualized approach. We will begin with a diagnostic evaluation to help pave the way, and then embark on a journey to reach each person's peak potential. The services we offer are one on one, so we are most able to focus on the specific issues presented by each client.

As you go through our web site, please know we welcome further questions and encourage you to contact us. As the director, I invite you to come to our office and speak with me personally, take a tour, and meet out staff. I offer you my expertise in educational as well as therapeutic resources and interventions, and will gladly assist in the overwhelming array of information you may already be struggling with. We all have dreams and aspirations for the children we love, as well as for ourselves. I hope to take this journey with you and assist in developing the feeling of success we all deserve.

Most Sincerely,

Ricki London, L.C.S.W.
