    Virtual Dyslexia Therapy- Research Based Reading Intervention

    I have tried my best to educate myself on different interventions that would help my students throughout my teaching journey. When it came to students with dyslexia, my research was taking me down several different avenues. There is a lot of information available on dyslexia interventions that are centered around personal successes. While these resources were helpful, I needed to take my interventions a step further for my students that were really struggling with reading. This is when I found Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia.

    What is Take Flight?
    Take Flight (TF) is a multisensory, structured approach to teaching written by the education staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children (SRC) hospital. Take Flight builds on the success of previous dyslexia intervention programs developed at SRC: Alphabet Phonics, Dyslexia Training Program and TSRH Literacy Program. It is a two year, Orton-Gillingham based curriculum designed for students 7 years of age and older who have been identified as having dyslexia.

    The reason Take Flight initially caught my attention is because the whole program is developed based on research! Research and data! These are two words I absolutely love as an educator
    Who Can Administer Take Flight?
    Take Flight trained therapists are called Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs). CALTs have extensive training needed to serve students with dyslexia.

    In order to become a CALT a person must:

    Hold a bachelor’s degree
    Go through a two year training program
    Complete a minimum of 700 clinical teaching hours
    Submit video demonstrations, book reports and chapter reviews

    Pass an exam that results in certification by the Academic Language Therapy Association

    About Me

    I’m Andreah and I have always had a passion for working with children. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Communication Science and Disorders- Speech Language Pathology. My life path led me to become a teacher and ultimately an Academic Language Therapist. As a teacher, I primarily worked with children who had been identified as having a learning disability in academic areas or who struggled with attention.

    Dyslexia Therapy
    I’m extremely thankful to be an Academic Language Therapist. This is a specific two year program of extensive training and hundreds of clinical teaching hours (700 hours minimum to be exact!) that allows me to provide dyslexia therapy. The intervention I am trained in is called Take Flight and I am currently in my advanced year of training. I have been blown away at the progress children make from our dyslexia therapy sessions! It has been such a wonderful and gratifying experience to be a part of their journey!
