An SLP is best qualified to identify, assess and remediate the language-based reading problems exhibited my many reading-disordered children (Catts &Kahmi, 1986).
Did you know??
Literacy is the ability to read and write. According to research, approximately 90-95% of children with reading challenged can overcome their difficulties if they receive appropriate intervention services.
What we offer:
-
- Complete assessment of your child’s reading and writing abilities
- 1:1 treatment with an SLP
- Small reading and writing groups
Our intervention programs are based on a multi-linguistic model. Your child will learn to love to read and write through fun and educational games using motivational learning styles!
