Purpose: To train teachers and learning specialists in an accredited two-year dyslexia therapy program that effectively incorporates the five pillars of reading for the purpose of providing empirically based, multi-sensory, systematic, synthetic, direct, and cumulative reading instruction and intervention. Upon completion, therapists-in-training will pursue certification as an Academic Language Therapist (CALT).
Over the course of two years, David Hanson (CALT-QI), will effectively instruct and train a group of teachers and specialists in Take Flight, an accredited dyslexia intervention program created through the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and will provide all instructional and observational hours to therapists-in-training.
