Fifty-two million children are in school attending grades K through 12. More than 20 million of these children are encountering educational failure and read below grade level. Because of this, a considerable number of children, adolescents, and young adults are suffering with the silent killer of their self-esteem. Scholastic defeat equates to a loss of confidence and self-worth that eliminates the opportunity to experience success and harmony in life.

The consequences of not intervening early in a child's academic career can be devastating for each individual child, as well as for society. Low self-esteem, high dropout rates, high teen suicide rates, chronic unemployment, and incarceration are among the well-documented results of delayed or ignored identification and treatment of learning differences.

Parents who suspect that their child has a learning problem are often confronted with an unresponsive school system and the daunting challenge of locating the best external program from a host of providers.

Because no standards have been set to gauge improvement by instruction type, cost, time or setting, parents often subject their children to a multitude of un-tested improvement programs that ultimately yield no results.

The HAAN FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN is  committed to helping kids thrive throughout their education and thus become productive members of society. The HAAN FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN     plans to unify  efforts, research, funds, programs and assessments in a clear, business-structured, community approach.
