CRD's experienced Speech/Language Pathologists offer specialized and individualized instruction for reading, spelling and speech. Instruction is formatted in a way to enhance and develop an oral-motor, visual and auditory feedback system that enables participants to identity the number and order of phonemes in syllables and words.
"Joshua is working really hard and doing a great job. He has advanced quicker than we anticipated; we should have started the reading program sooner. His speech therapist has done a great job working with Joshua and he continues to make great progress. Joshua is really interested in books; he used to want me to read to him, now he wants to read to me! His teachers can't believe how well he is reading. He also pays more attention to words around him, like street signs. He wants to know what things say."
