Beth Koenig
Core Subjects and Special Needs Instructor

Hi! I'm Ms. Beth, and for as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a teacher. I have been teaching all different subjects for our sensory impaired clients for over 18 years. The last 7 years I have been working with families to custom design homeschool curriculum for children with special needs and help their typically developing siblings too. The last four years I have been helping homeschooling families choose and implement curriculum as well as monitoring their children's progress. I have also been making customized college degree plans for high schoolers to get their AA or BA and a high school diploma at the same time!

Bobby Fleener
America Sign Language Instructor

Mr. Fleener has been teaching sign language to all age groups for over 15 years both in person and online and has tons of experience as a tutor in core subjects too.

Our Curriculum

Our live sessions are designed to provide individualized academic attention, integrating self-guided learning and collaborative group activities. We use high-quality resources like Khan Academy, MobyMax, DuoLingo, Code Spark, and Kids A-Z, ensuring your child can work at their own pace and level.

Flexibility and Customization

At SIGN Enrichment, we prioritize providing a highly individualized and custom education for children, catering to both those with and without special needs. Our program combines the best curriculum available, integrating self-guided learning and collaborative group activities. With just 12 hours per week, our developmentally appropriate activities are designed to prepare your child for the next grade.

Unlike traditional schools, where students are often required to sit through material they already know or face a slower pace due to others' difficulties, our program avoids such limitations. We understand that attention can wane if the pace is too slow or important content is missed in a fast-paced environment. That's why we allow our students to take the time they need to process and learn effectively. As a result, they can progress at their own pace, excelling in areas of strength while dedicating additional time to subjects that require more attention.

By providing this flexibility, our students not only acquire a solid foundation in essential knowledge but also have the freedom to enjoy life and engage in play. We believe that a balanced approach to education nurtures their overall development and fosters a love for learning.

With our highly personalized and customized approach, SIGN Enrichment ensures that your child receives the support and resources necessary to thrive academically while celebrating their individuality. Join us on this journey of tailored education, where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Our tuition rates are affordable!

Our core program is only 4 days a week!

Your children will receive all of their core subjects in just four days per week, leaving Friday and Saturday free for other activities, such as sports or other interests. The best part? This is a private program, so you can start now! There is no need to wait for your school district to figure things out. We will monitor your children's progress so you don't have to. Our program is also year-round, so you don't have to worry about your child losing progress over the summer! And if you want to go on a 2 week vacation in the middle of the school year, that is perfectly fine! We work with you to meet your child's educational needs and goals.

Got questions?

I HAVE ANSWERS!

If you think of a question I haven't answered yet, feel free to reach out to team@signtechsupport.org

Do you take students with special needs?

Yes! Our program is designed to be inclusive. If your child has a speech issue or autism, is non-verbal or semi-verbal they are welcome. Our classes are also good for children who are hard of hearing, visually impaired, or have sensory processing issues. We will assist you in getting your child evaluated by your local school district and having an IEP created if you wish. If your child already has an IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) then we will do our best to support their goals. Every student has a custom educational plan and degree path that is written with and for them so everyone can be on the same page to best support the student.

Do parents have to be present?

No. You do, however, need to log your child into the online classroom at the start of each class, but then you can either stay or do other things you need to do. Older children can log themselves into class and we will work with your child to help them remember to sign into classes.

Do parents have to help outside of school class?

No, once your child is logged in we will take over and help them with their work. Our curriculum is designed to be hands-on and self-contained with independent learning for core subjects, so there is no need for parents to supplement additional curriculum during the day.

Do parents have to buy materials?

No. There are no supplies required. We will let you know when we recommend supplies. Your child should have access to paper and writing utensils. And they will need a working computer to access sessions and independent work. We also highly recommend access to a printer (Epson Ecotank is our favorite brand and we highly recommend it.)

Are there other costs besides my monthly tuition?

No. There are no other costs required to participate. We do offer add on services but they are not required.

​Is this an online "learning" video game or worksheet website?

We are using online websites to track your children's core learning, so they don't need to fill out the endless worksheets and workbooks that other programs have. We do provide printable manipulatives and activities that are optional, and having access to a printer is highly recommended. Our focus is on real, social interaction between an amazing instructor (that's US!) and a small class of amazing friends.

What's the difference between your enrichment program and Hooked on Phonics or ABC Mouse?

We are monitoring the programs your child is using so we know what they need to work on and can help to reinforce concepts in live sessions and provide individual help as needed.

What if my child struggles with socializing or following behavioral norms?

After 18 years of teaching, I think I've seen just about every type of child there is. I'm excited to work with your child and help him or her have a wonderful experience!

What requirements do I need to meet to participate?

You'll need internet access and a laptop or desktop computer. If you are worried about your child having access to non-school related websites, we offer a locked down Chromebook that you can rent from us. Your child will only have access to websites that we allow. If you sign up your child for another educational program we can add that website access to the child's laptop on request.

I'm not technical. Will you show me how to login?

Yes. We will provide complete technical support.

What video conferencing platform are you using?

We use Google Meet, a free platform. The links we use to join our online classroom are exclusive to our families so no one else can access the online classrooms. Plus, our online classroom is monitored by an instructor at all times when in use.

I miss the friends I had with my child's local school. Can I connect with enrichment parents in my child's classes?

Absolutely! After signing up, you'll join our private Facebook group of amazing enrichment families. We're super supportive and excited to have you join us!
