Dyslexia Therapy & Academic Language Support Services
Dyslexia Therapy
Our Certified Academic Language Therapists are experts in the field of dyslexia and reading instruction. Students in dyslexia therapy may be seen in small groups or in a one-on-one setting based on need. Dyslexia therapy is an intensive program that is explicit, systematic, and cumulative in its approach and incorporates multisensory instruction into all the components of literacy development.
Academic Language Support
Some students, with or without identified dyslexia, may benefit from structured literacy components in the area of reading, spelling, and writing. This is often a good match for students who are receiving dyslexia services at school, or who may have completed a dyslexia program but would still benefit from support. Our academic therapy sessions are tailored to the needs of our students.
Programs Used
Our Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALT) work as a partner with you, your child, and the school to develop appropriate goals and services. Some students may need intensive dyslexia therapy, while others may need academic language support. Based on the needs and goals of your child, a tailored program will be determined.
Our CALTs are trained in multiple Orton-Gillingham programs endorsed by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), including:
Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia
Pre-Flight
BUILD: K-1 early reading intervention
Scientific Spelling
Developing Metacognitive Skill
History of the English Language
Turbo Start: Summer program / off-cycle learning
Jet: 14 years and older
*All of our sessions are taught by Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALT) or Certified Academic Language Practitioners (CALP).
“My daughter has struggled with reading and writing since she started school. After a short four months with Dr. Spencer, I noticed a definite improvement in pronouncing words and fluency in reading full sentences. Lucy really enjoyed attending the sessions and looked forward to them each time. The program not only improved her reading literacy but her willingness to learn as well. Thank you, Rebecka, for all you have done to help her.”
