Learn French at home for someone with special needs

Hello,

We just moved to France. I am looking for a French, everyday metric, and connected writing tutor for my daughter who has 23 years. I need a tutor for multiple days a week with experience teaching students with special needs.

Special needs:

- Aspergers or high-functioning autism, can send you a link to read more, and ADHD, so the learning environment needs to be at our home because it is a safe space for her.

- Childhood syndrome called Landau-Kleffner Syndrome, a form of epilepsy that affects the language processing part of the brain, can send you a link to read more.

+ She ultimately lost her language from LKS and then had to try to regain it. She had trouble learning the language, and essentially, today it is broken.

+ Her strengths are in her extraordinary visual system, remarkable auditory system for languages other than English, and her strong tactile and gestures systems. Another strength is her memory and pattern recognition.

- One of her neurologists suggested finding teachers with a deeper voice, it has to do with the auditory frequency, to help her understand auditory input better.

She has taken French in school in the US, had an online tutor just briefly until it overwhelmed her to learn online, and learned on her own. She would still be considered a beginner because she needs more guidance to learn sentence structure and phonetic rules. Her ultimate goal is to reach C1 so she can go to University here.

She really needs someone who can use minimal simple English, rely more on other modes of learning, see strengths in sentence with +, and be able to adjust lessons when needed.

Thank you for your consideration.
