Our Approach

The Lindamood-Bell Academy is a unique in-person or online accredited California private school where we develop sensory-cognitive processing as a foundation for all learning.
 
Unlike any other school, our primary goal is to develop cognition. We see each question we ask—each interaction with students—as an opportunity to develop their cognition.

 

We teach students to think and reason and apply their sensory-cognitive processing to all content, to all curriculum, to all of life.

Our Approach

NANCI BELL co-founder of Lindamood-bell

Many years ago, as we were developing Lindamood-Bell, we talked about creating a Lindamood-Bell School.   Year after year, we explored the option, but year after year we were unable to make that dream come true.

I’m very excited to tell you that we have created the Lindamood-Bell Academy where we develop the imagery-language foundation for success in language processing and all curriculum.

Our dream has come true.  Please call us for information so we can make your dreams come true too.

Warmest regards,

pod

Our instruction is based on
an individual’s learning needs.

We work with thousands of individuals.

Sitting with a child or an adult who struggles to read a word or comprehend a paragraph provides unique insight into the learning process.

We develop the skills that underlie reading & comprehension.

📚 Is your child struggling with comprehension? 🤔
 
It’s not always easy to spot. While symptoms of decoding issues like dyslexia may be more obvious, comprehension weaknesses often go unnoticed. These hidden challenges can prevent students from fully understanding what they read or hear, impacting school performance and problem-solving in daily life.
 
If your child struggles with:
Remembering what they read
Problem-solving
Writing assignments
Following directions
 
They may need support developing their comprehension skills. 🌟 Visit our blog to discover the signs and get helpful tips on how to support your child. Follow the link in our bio, @lindamoodbellofficial.
Is ADHD a learning disability? Not exactly—but it can make learning harder. Research shows that 30-50% of kids with ADHD also have a learning disability, and the overlap can complicate academic success. Learn how ADHD impacts learning and how targeted instruction at Lindamood-Bell helps students thrive. Read more on our blog! Follow the link in our bio, @lindamoodbellofficial.
