The process begins with an individualized literacy assessment. The assessment helps me better understand your child’s current skills, identify strengths and needs, and determine whether characteristics commonly associated with dyslexia are present.
The assessment includes all areas of reading, including phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, phonics, alphabetic principles, spelling, oral reading fluency, and comprehension. Based on the results, we create a customized intervention plan with clear goals for dyslexia therapy.
The comprehensive assessment provides valuable insights to share with educators and others supporting the child’s progress.

What is Dyslexia Therapy?
Certified Academic Language Therapists provide explicit, systematic, sequential Multisensory Structured Language instruction that builds a high degree of accuracy, knowledge, and independence for students with written-language disorders, including dyslexia. CALTs use Multisensory Structured Language to integrate visual, auditory, and motor processing with an explicit understanding of English language structure, helping students build a solid foundation for reading and writing. I have over 20 years of experience in education and received my Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) certification through the University of Alabama.
