FAQs
What is Take Flight?
Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia is a curriculum written by the staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children.

What is a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT)?
Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs) are not tutors. They are specially trained to work with students with dyslexia and related language-based learning differences. They have completed extensive training in a multisensory structured language program at a training center or university that offers courses accredited by the International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council (IMSLEC). All Hoover Learning Group coaches who work in reading intervention are Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALT) or are in the middle of their certification to become one.
Therapy Level standards require a CALT to:
Complete 200 course contact hours in an accredited learning therapy program.
Complete a minimum of 700 clinical teaching hours.
Complete 10 demonstration lessons.
Successfully pass the Academic Language Therapy Association (ALTA) Competency Exam for Multisensory Structured Language Education.
