[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you PPs. What is CALT? His IQ was in the average range.[/quote] CALT is a Certified Academic Language Therapist and it is the type of provider you probably need to remediate reading and writing for an older child like yours. Essentially we are dyslexia therapists and we teach dyslexic people to read, write, and spell. It is a two year training and supervision process to become a CALT, so it’s a highly skilled credential. Locally most CALT have been trained by ASDEC and you can call them for a referral. You can also google “academic language therapy” and you’ll get some local CALT with websites. And I agree with pp on audiobooks - drop the fight on eye reading at home and encourage all the audiobooks. They do so much good, and will build vocabulary and other background knowledge. They are gold![/quote]
