Research
In partnership with Boise State University, Lee Pesky Learning Center contributed to the RESET project, an initiative focused on improving instruction for students with learning disabilities. Led by Dr. Evelyn Johnson, the project developed validated observation and feedback tools to help special education teachers deliver high-quality, evidence-based instruction.
Through this work, educators gain better support, training, and evaluation methods, ultimately improving outcomes for students with disabilities and driving long-term change in special education systems.
If you are facing one or more of these challenges, we’re here to help.

“Best. Day. Ever,” my daughter proclaimed after her first week of third grade, quickly followed by “I got to show everyone how to do a math problem on the board and I was the only one who knew how to do it.”
LPLC built a special bond that’s helped Delphine succeed. Every lesson is customized to Delphine’s learning style, interest, and even her mood on a given day. The student-teacher relationship makes LPLC stand out for our family. And the results speak for themselves.

Can’t Believe their Quality Service, It was Awesome!
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.
