Who benefits from LW4K classes?

If you feel your child is struggling to reach their full potential, we can help!

Every child who wants to learn more from playing video games can benefit and enjoy our courses! But they are particularly helpful for kids with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Learning Disabilities because these children are often intensely engaged and attentive in their game play.

Transform your child’s video game play into learning.

LW4K transforms game-based learning into real-world executive function and social-emotional learning skills.

Our classes help your child better manage their day-to-day responsibilities and prepare them for 21st-century demands of school, jobs, and problem-solving.  

 

We teach your child the skills they need to succeed -even more than academic knowledge- such as :  planning, time management, organization, flexibility, social awareness, self-control, and persistence


Why it Works

Testimonials

““I will confess I didn't watch over my son's shoulder the whole time or anything, but based on what I could hear from the next room, he sure seemed to be having a great time, and he was pretty amped up at the end of it. He had lots of good things to say about it, which is amazing given how burnt out he is on the whole online learning thing at this point.”

Minecraft Feedback

Beanna R.

“My son really enjoyed his course with Shanna. He eagerly looked forward to it every week. He is a huge animal crossing fan but had nobody to talk about it with. This course allowed him to connect with other animal crossing fans. Shanna was a great course leader. She kept things on track and worked great with the students”
