Panama City and Bay County are still healing from Hurricane Michael's direct hit in 2018 — a Category 5 storm that devastated schools, disrupted families, and created years of ongoing displacement and rebuilding. Bay County School District has worked hard to restore its educational infrastructure, and while tremendous progress has been made, the community continues to carry the weight of that experience. Trauma affects learning, and Bay County has a higher proportion of students with unmet mental health and academic needs as a result.
For families in Panama City whose children have autism, dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning differences, the post-hurricane period compounded existing challenges. Some children lost ground academically during extended school disruptions. Some received delayed evaluations. Some are only now being identified years after they should have been. Our tutors are experienced in working with children who have gaps from interrupted schooling, and we approach learning differences with the patience and skill they require.
Panama City FES-UA families can access our services at no out-of-pocket cost — we're an approved direct-pay provider through Step Up For Students. Book your free consultation and let's help your child move forward.
