Power Path

Recently, I was trained in a program called Power Path. Power Path is a great educational tool that can help students succeed in school. Power Path screens for attention, visual, and auditory difficulties and offers referrals to professional resources in necessary cases. It allows the student to take charge of their learning by deciding which accommodations and resources will most benefit their learning. Power Path can help students learn how to learn.

I think Power Path is a great tool. I wish we could develop a similar tool that can be used on students earlier. One of Power Path's clinches is that the general program is mostly for ABE students, i.e. students that have already gone through the public education system and were not successful. Wouldn't it be fantastic to be able to develop a screening program that catches learning difficulties early on?
