*Academic Language Therapy
*Multi-sensory Academic Language Therapy is a model of instruction which uses multiple sensory modalities (visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic) to help students build literacy skills. It is highly repetitive, sequential, systematic and cumulative. Each program is based on the Orton-Gillingham approach to language education.
Professional Development sessions are available at the center or in schools. Pam has been a literacy consultant and conference speaker for more than 25 years. She also has conducted small group and large group seminars, workshops and embedded coaching.

Consultation and Evaluation
Parents are welcome to call or e-mail us to arrange for assessment and evaluation sessions for their children. Assessments take 50-120 minutes and are spaced between one and two sessions. A full evaluation is then written up with an opportunity to discuss results and a plan of instruction.
Schools are welcome to contact us to discuss and arrange for professional development in-house or at Crossroads Learning. A needs assessment can be done to see what areas need to be targeted for your school.
