About Integrative Learning

Based in Encinitas, CA, Integrative Learning provides assessments and one-to-one services to children with a wide range of learning disabilities. Founded by Elena Mendoza, Integrative Learning is dedicated to helping your child foster a sense of pride and confidence in his or her ability to read and learn. We take pride in researching the best programs available and bringing them to our students.

With over 20 years of experience in the educational therapy field, we have mastered the art of understanding how each student learns differently.  Connecting with each child’s brain, we uncover the specific strengths and weaknesses that allow us to develop a customized lesson plan. Because we know that strengths and weakness are constantly changing, we’re always adjusting our lesson plans to fit a student’s needs.

Meet the Team

Simon and Sophie Rey

Integrative Learning Mascots

Hello, my name is Simon with a black and white coat and my sister, Sophie Rey, is brown with blue eyes. Both of us are Miniature Schnauzers, but not to worry, we don’t shed and are allergy-free. When you come to the office we will probably be the first to greet you. We have several toys, so please find some and play with us. Sometimes we just like to cuddle, all depending on if we had our morning nap.
