ALTA Certified Academic Language Therapists provide diagnostic, explicit, systematic Multisensory Structured Language intervention which builds a high degree of accuracy, knowledge, and independence for students with written-language disorders, including dyslexia.

• Clinically Diagnostic and Prescriptive – Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALT) review comprehensive evaluation reports and academic samples, then administer academic skills assessments for baseline documentation. Throughout Multisensory Structured Language therapy sessions, student performance informs diagnostic and prescriptive intervention to create a high level of accuracy, fluency, and understanding for independence in written language skills.
• Skilled In Multisensory Structured Language – Certified Academic Language Therapists integrate visual, auditory, and motor processing with explicit understanding of the structure of the English language, which provides a solid foundation in written language skills.
• Intensive – Certified Academic Language Therapists provide expert, skilled one-to-one or small-group intervention, with high frequency over a sustained period of time, which links explicit understanding, repeated practice and performance to develop accurate and fluent reading with comprehension.
• Results-Driven – Certified Academic Language Therapists enable explicit understanding and application of the structure of the English language (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and orthography), to create the foundation for age appropriate oral and written language, including reading accuracy, fluency and comprehension, spelling, and written expression.

Clinical evidence demonstrates that students are better able to store language information in their brains when many senses are activated. The best learning occurs when the senses of sight, hearing, and touch are utilized. This requires thinking outside of the traditional education box of ready and writing as the way to acquire knowledge. These strategies also help students with attention issues to focus on learning.
