How to Get Started with 3D Learner: Free Consultation and Strengths & Challenges Inventory

To get started with 3D Learner, a parent can take two concrete steps: download the Strengths & Challenges Inventory to better understand why your child may be struggling, and schedule a free consultation to discuss your situation. From there, the process moves into an initial assessment, and any program is customized based on that assessment. 3D Learner is designed for bright students who learn differently and struggle with reading comprehension, math, executive functioning, or related challenges — and it treats parents as an integral part of the solution.

Who This Is For

3D Learner describes its audience as "smart struggling students" — children who are bright but face difficulties such as:

• Reading comprehension and vocabulary
• Math challenges
• Visual processing, working memory, and processing speed
• Executive functioning, attention, and anxiety
• Eye-teaming challenges

The site frames these students as "right-brain learners" whose visualization, problem-solving, and creativity skills can be capitalized on rather than treated as deficits. If your child is smart but struggling in one or more of these areas, the starting steps below apply to you.

Step 1: Download the Strengths & Challenges Inventory

The Strengths & Challenges Inventory is offered on the site as a way to "get new insights into why they are struggling and how they can be more successful." It is the lowest-commitment entry point.

What to do:

1. Go to 3dlearner.com and locate the Strengths & Challenges Inventory link on the home page.
2. Download the inventory.
3. Complete it with your child's strengths and challenges in mind.

Expected result: A clearer picture of your child's profile — both what they struggle with and the strengths that can be built on. This is useful preparation for the consultation, because 3D Learner's approach starts from strengths rather than from a list of what is wrong.

Common snag: Parents often arrive with school or psychologist reports focused on deficits. The inventory is designed to shift that perspective, so fill it out with attention to strengths as well as challenges.

Step 2: Schedule a Free Consultation

The site offers a free consultation as the direct next step after (or alongside) the inventory.

What to do:

1. Use the "Schedule a free consultation" link on the 3D Learner site.
2. Bring what you learned from the inventory — the specific challenges and the strengths you noticed.
3. Use the conversation to ask how the process would apply to your child.

Expected result: A clearer understanding of which program fits and what the assessment process would look like. The consultation is a conversation, not a commitment to enroll.

Step 3: The Initial Assessment and Customized Plan

According to the site, 3D Learner provides "an individualized, customized learning environment based on your child's initial assessment." Areas needing improvement are then targeted with the program's proprietary teaching materials.

This means the sequence is: inventory → consultation → initial assessment → customized program. You do not choose a program blindly; the assessment determines the focus.

What Programs Are Available

After the assessment, the fit typically falls into one of these areas:

The site also offers resources on making reading more fun and on using the power of pictures to help kids and parents stay calm — useful while you wait for the assessment.

What Makes the Approach Different

3D Learner states that schools and psychologists "very often focus on what is wrong with a child," while it focuses on strengths and teaches "the way your child learns best." The site attributes gains "in months vs. years" to five elements:

• Identifying and addressing challenges (executive function, eye-teaming, working memory, processing speed, anxiety)
• Capitalizing on the student's strengths
• Customizing the process for the individual student
• Using an integrated, engaging curriculum
• Treating parents as an integral part of the solution

That last point matters for getting started: expect to be involved, not just to drop your child off. The Parent Coaching program exists precisely because parenting a visual learner "involves a different set of parenting skills."
