Academic Language Therapy Classes for Children
Since 1989, the SRDC has continuously provided small group dyslexia therapy for students entering 2nd grade through 5th grade. Students who are dyslexic and have been accepted for therapy attend the Center's Academic Language Therapy classes five days a week for one hour each day in the afternoon, for approximately two years. Classes run concurrently with the Austin Independent School District's school calendar. Students receive instruction in the Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia (Take Flight) curriculum. This curriculum was written by the Education Team at the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC) in Dallas, for use by academic language therapists with children seven years or older with developmental dyslexia.
Families enrolling for September, 2014 will pay a $800 tuition and materials fee for SRDC's small group dyslexia therapy for the first year and $800 for the second year. In the tradition of the Scottish Rite Masons, scholarships are available for qualified families. Parents are encouraged inquire about scholarship opportunities.
The program helps to maintain students in regular educational programs and often allows them to avoid being qualified as learning disabled and placed in special education. This curriculum enables students with dyslexia to pass the TAKS and other high-stakes tests, often for the first time. Students who complete this course of instruction are more likely to maximize their potential in higher education. The National Institutes of Health have found that 35% of identified learning disabled individuals will encounter problems with the criminal justice system within five years of leaving high school either as a dropout or a "push out." The program helps lower the dropout rate and prevents students from failing a grade.
