Why Choose a Certified Academic Language Therapist for Dyslexia?

Understanding the Difference

When your child is struggling with dyslexia, finding the right support is crucial. While both reading tutors and Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs) can offer assistance, CALTs possess unique qualifications and expertise that make them particularly effective in addressing the specific challenges of dyslexia.

Individualized Instruction

Every child's learning journey is unique. CALTs create personalized intervention plans tailored to each student's specific strengths and challenges, ensuring they receive the targeted support they need to thrive.

Specialized Training and Expertise

CALTs undergo rigorous, accredited training programs focused on language-based learning differences like dyslexia. They have a deep understanding of the science of reading, the complexities of dyslexia, and the most effective instructional strategies to help students succeed.

Multisensory Techniques

CALTs employ multisensory techniques that engage all learning pathways (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile), making learning more accessible and effective for students with dyslexia.

Evidence-Based Approach

CALTs utilize research-backed methodologies, such as the Orton-Gillingham approach, which have a proven track record of success in improving reading, writing, and spelling skills for individuals with dyslexia.

Long-Term Success

CALTs focus on building a strong foundation in literacy skills, empowering students to become independent learners and achieve long-term success in academics and beyond.
