Yearning 4 Learning is a private Educational Therapy practice located in San Francisco founded and operated by Missy Silver, MA/ET. Y4L provides a variety of services to students and families who present with neurodiverse learning needs in grades PreK-8. Educational therapists are highly trained professionals, and the learning support offered goes beyond teaching content or homework help. At Yearning 4 Learning we create an intensive and individualized intervention & teaching plan that addresses the root causes of learning problems. These interventions help to build a foundation for academic success that reaches far into the future.
Yearning 4 Learning not only supports the learning needs of students, we also work with the entire family by providing the following:
Providing one-to-one individualized instruction to Pre-K through high school.
Yearning 4 Learning uses research-based techniques to manage learning and processing challenges.
We provide information needed to develop and individualize intervention and remediation plans.
Our techniques stimulate visual, auditory, tactile, & kinesthetic areas of learning.
We create psycho-educational (non-academic goals) that help build self-confidence and self-reliance.
We advocate for students by helping them to be facilitators of communication with their families, & their teachers.
