Therapy
Students with dyslexia require systematic and intensive remediation in order to master written and oral language skills. Academic Language Therapy starts from the basic building blocks of language so that no gaps remain in the student’s understanding of language structure. Academic Language Therapy is a cumulative, intensive, and highly-structured intervention delivered by a professional with extensive training in understanding language and in delivering language instruction in a prescriptive approach.
