Applicants: Teachers, tutors, parents, resource teachers, specialists, administrators, and those wanting to learn a multisensory approach to assist individuals who have language difficulties.
Format: Twelve sessions of intensive training in a multisensory phonetic approach to remediating reading, writing and spelling difficulties.
