Programs tailored to different learning styles and needs.
PHonoloGical Deficit
Phonological processing effects a child's ability to sound out unknown words.
Have you noticed challenges with these core skills?
Sounding out words
Pronouncing words or certain sounds
Adding or forgetting sounds in words
Guessing not sounding out words
Behind in reading or spelling
Avoiding reading
Phonological Dyslexia or Developmental Dyslexia
Orthographic Deficit
Orthographic processing effects a child's ability to recognize symbolic patterns and learn sight words.
Have you noticed challenges with these core skills?
Memorizing spelling words
Letter reversals or using the incorrect letter when spelling
Unable to recognize words they already know
Slow Reading
Issues with handwriting and letter sizes
Surface Dyslexia or Orthographic Dyslexia
LIPS®
Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing®
The LiPS® program develops phonological processing by teaching the student to identify, sequence, and manipulate phonemes. Through this proven methodology, the student develops the neuro-pathways required for phonological processing by attending to his oral-motor movements
Dual
Mixture of LiPS® & Seeings Stars®
The LiPS® and Seeing Stars® programs have been expertly designed to overlap where necessary to develop several core skills including phonological processing, RAN, and orthographic processing. Our expert team customizes the programs to better fit a child with a dual-deficit or mixed dyslexia.
Seeing Stars®
Seeing Stars® for symbol imagery
Seeing Stars® works to strengthen the student’s underlying retention for symbols while systematically introducing spelling rules through multisensory instruction. Through this proven methodology, the student develops the neuro-pathways required for orthographic processing.
Each program has been specially designed to target and develop the underlying cognitive functions at the root of a reading disability. With our expert team of reading specialists, your child can get a highly curated educational plan. By targeting the core functions of reading, children can learn to read and spell on their own and maintain independence in the classroom.
Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction
Structured Literacy
Structured literacy emphasizes a systematic, rule based approach to literacy development with emphasis on skill building and mastery. A structured literacy based intervention program develops foundational skills that are crucial to successful reading and spelling, such as phonological awareness, word and pattern recognition, decoding, encoding, and comprehension.
Science of Reading
Understanding the way that the brain learns to read and spell is paramount to effective intervention. Hence, all of our intervention programs are research based and integrate elements from multiple disciplines, such as neuropsychology, teaching English as a second language, and education. Our programs have strong, evidence-based foundations, and are also consistently updated to reflect both current research and the needs of each student.
