Introductory Academic Language Therapist Training
Advanced Therapist Training

The Scottish Rite Learning Center of South Texas (SRLC) offers
the Dyslexia Therapist Training Program for individuals with a
college degree. This comprehensive training to become a specialist
in multisensory teaching techniques of the structure of the English
language is purposefully designed for the student who is at risk
for reading difficulty or who has been diagnosed as dyslexic. This
training will be implemented in the establishment of local remedial
classes for these unique students.
The therapist training program provides the opportunity for an
individual to become a specialist in the field of dyslexia and
related learning differences. In order to provide the highest-quality
training possible, there is a limited number of individuals selected
for the training each year. Course content and techniques are based
on the original Orton-Gillingham model, as well as others, with
additions and refinements developed since 1965 at Texas Scottish
Rite Hospital for children in Dallas.
Completion of this two-year comprehensive training program prepares
an individual to receive a certificate of completion from Scottish
Rite Learning Center with the title of Dyslexia Therapist. Upon
successful completion of a comprehensive examination by the Academic
Language Therapy Association, ALTA, our graduates will also receive
the title of Certified Academic Language Therapist. Applications
for the Introductory Dyslexia Therapist Training Program must
be received by May 1
