our programs
Path To Launch Afterschool Program
Path to Launch is a structured afterschool literacy program designed for neurodivergent students in grades 2–8 diagnosed with autism, dyslexia, and in some cases ADHD.
Students attend three days per week for two-hour sessions, receiving explicit, multisensory reading and spelling instruction grounded in the evidence-based Orton-Gillingham approach. Instruction is tailored to each learner’s individual profile, ensuring targeted support where it is needed most.
Through consistent progress monitoring and wrap-around support, students build foundational skills, confidence, and reading fluency at their own pace — whether they are working to close gaps or advance beyond grade level.
Launch From Home Homeschool Support Program
Launch From Home is our supportive homeschool literacy program created for neurodivergent students diagnosed with autism, dyslexia, and in some cases ADHD.
For students ages 7 and older, Launch From Home provides in-center instructional sessions three days per week — Tuesday through Thursday from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. During these two-hour sessions, students receive explicit, multisensory reading and spelling instruction using the evidence-based Orton-Gillingham approach. Instruction is individualized to each learner’s profile, with a strong focus on decoding, fluency, comprehension, and confidence-building.
Students participating in in-center sessions must be at least 7 years old at the time of enrollment.
For families with younger learners (Kindergarten and 1st grade), the program offers parent training, coaching, and structured resources to equip caregivers with the tools needed to confidently support their child’s literacy development within the home learning environment.
Through individualized instruction, progress monitoring, and strong family partnership, Launch From Home ensures students receive targeted intervention and the support they need to make meaningful, measurable progress — right from where they are.
Power Up Summer Reading Camp
Power Up Reading Camp is a summer literacy program designed for students in grades 2–4 who need targeted support in foundational reading skills. The program provides structured, small-group instruction using neuro-affirming, evidence-based practices grounded in the Orton-Gillingham approach.
Students receive focused instruction in phonics, decoding, and reading fluency while building confidence in a supportive, multisensory learning environment. Power Up Reading Camp is designed to strengthen core literacy skills and prevent further reading gaps before the next school year begins.
Mentorship Lift
Wraparound Support for Neurodivergent Learners
Launching Fall 2027
The Mentorship Lift Program is an upcoming initiative being developed by NeuroStars Phonics Factory to provide wraparound support for students participating in our literacy programs.
While our core programs focus on structured literacy instruction, the Mentorship Lift Program will support the broader skills that help neurodivergent learners thrive both academically and socially. Students with autism, dyslexia, and ADHD often benefit from additional guidance in areas such as executive functioning, emotional regulation, confidence-building, and social communication.
Through structured mentorship experiences, students will work with trained mentors who provide encouragement, guidance, and positive role modeling while reinforcing the skills students are developing in their literacy instruction.
The Mentorship Lift Program is currently in development and is expected to launch in Fall 2027. Additional details regarding mentor opportunities, partnerships, and student participation will be announced as the program approaches launch.
