I’m Martha Lozano, a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT) and Licensed Dyslexia Therapist (LDT) with 15+ years of experience in education. I've been supporting bilingual and English-speaking children with dyslexia since 2019. My goal is to provide every child with the right tools, strategies, and encouragement to become a confident, independent reader.

Three Key Elements of my Intervention

1. Use of proven Multisensory Programs:

My therapy is structured, systematic, explicit, and multisensory. Lessons are taught step by step, with constant review, so students learn how sounds, letters, and words work together to build strong reading and spelling skills

I have extensive experience with evidence-based dyslexia interventions: Take Flight, Wilson Reading System, and Esperanza.

2. Personalized Support:

I provide one-on-one instruction that targets your child’s emotional and literacy needs, fostering growth, resilience, and reading confidence.

3. Engaging Technology:

In my sessions students use interactive tools to boost engagement and reinforce learning.

Why choose a CALT?

A CALT (Certified Academic Language Therapist) holds a master’s degree, has completed an intensive two-year program, and has accumulated 700 clinical hours before passing a national certification exam through ALTA (Academic Language Therapy Association). Many CALTs also hold the designation of LDT (Licensed Dyslexia Therapist). CALTs have an in-depth knowledge of English structure (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and orthography) and are uniquely qualified to provide therapy that builds strong foundations in reading accuracy, fluency, comprehension, spelling, and written expression. Importantly, a CALT is the only professional level qualified to deliver Take Flight, Wilson, or Esperanza therapy.
