About Us
Our Philosophy
Wimberley Dyslexia & Learning Center specializes in providing one-on-one and small group intensive dyslexia therapy and reading/language instruction. Our approach is tailored to meet the needs of each individual student through evidence-based multi-sensory, systematic instruction based on the Orton-Gillingham approach taught by Certified Academic Language Therapists and Practitioners.
Our goal is to help children not only gain confidence in their reading and writing skills, but to become self-advocates as they recognize their own talents and gifts. We strive to build a community, both within our center and the larger community. We assist families in navigating the education system, provide outreach programs to local schools and educators, and create a partnership with schools, parents, and educators.
Our Expertise

All of our therapists hold a license of Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALT) through ALTA (Academic Language Therapy Association). This prestigious license ensures that our therapists are highly trained and committed to continuing their research and professional development in the area of dyslexia and language instruction.

FAQs About Dyslexia
"Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge." (IDA Definition, 2002)
