EXPERIENCED STAFF WALK ALONGSIDE YOUR CHILD

CALT
ALLIES professors come to us with additional training and understanding in the field of Dyslexia, and the knowledge and desire to implement a variety of accommodations for our students. We are trained in the use of accommodations for Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, ADD/ADHD, and the many challenges that come with each.

ALLIES professors and Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs) have extensive experience and have taught students with characteristics of Dyslexia for many years. Their experience in this special field ranges from two to thirty years!

Is ALLIES A Good Candidate for Your Child?

  • Is your bright child struggling in school?
  • Is your student’s reading slow, choppy, or inaccurate?
  • Is your student’s spelling a mess?
  • Is he/she beginning to dislike school, or coming up with ways to avoid it?
  • Does your student’s teacher report they are behind or need extra help?
  • Are your student’s math facts a nightmare for them to remember?

If any of these scenarios are happening to your child, we stand by ready to be ALLIES in your child’s learning.
