Four-Pronged Philosophy

At Dyslexia on Demand, all operations are deeply rooted in our 4-pronged philosophy. We strive for every these elements to be incorporated into every aspect of our interactions with parents, students, and the general public.

The first is delivering individualized, one-on-one dyslexia therapy. As a child-focused business, we believe in exclusively taking a one-on-one approach to tailor the specific needs of each student while maintaining absolute fidelity in the therapeutic program.
Next, we are committed to data-driven, CALT-led instruction. We believe that reading should be a quantitative experience marking gains not only as a general opinion but through a comparison of data. Moreover, in order to use the data appropriately, diagnostic and prescriptive instruction must be delivered with the highest standards by certified academic language therapists.
With the incorporation of social-emotional aspects of dyslexia, we hope to help our students honor their differences as a dyslexic individual so that they proudly advocate for themselves and their needs as they grow. In addition to incorporating these aspects into our daily sessions with students, we also offer mental health support groups with a professional to discuss the social-emotional aspects of dyslexia.
Advocacy is an essential component of everything we do at Dyslexia on Demand. We focus on educating parents and students what it means to be dyslexic, their state and federal rights, and how to navigate the development of the “whole” child as it applies to their needs at home and in their school environment.

Certified Academic Language Therapists

Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALT) are:

Clinically Diagnostic and Prescriptive

Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALT) review comprehensive evaluation reports and academic samples, then administer academic skills assessments for baseline documentation. Student performance informs diagnostic and prescriptive intervention to create a high level of accuracy, fluency, and understanding for independence in written language skills.

Results Driven

Certified Academic Language Therapists enable explicit understanding and application of the structure of the English language (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and orthography), to create the foundation for age-appropriate oral and written language. This includes reading accuracy, fluency and comprehension, spelling, and written expression.

Intensive

Certified Academic Language Therapists provide expert, skilled one-to-one or small-group intervention, with high frequency over a sustained period of time, which links explicit understanding, repeated practice and performance to develop accurate and fluent reading with comprehension.

Skilled In Multisensory Structured Language

Certified Academic Language Therapists integrate visual, auditory, and motor processing with an explicit understanding of the structure of the English language, which provides a solid foundation in written language skills.
