These reading intervention classes are designed for elementary school children who need intensive instruction in reading due to characteristics of dyslexia. Therapists will use a structured literacy approach with dyslexia-specific intervention methods and materials including SPIRE and Basic Language Skills.

Classes are held on Mondays, Tuesdays and/or Thursdays for 45 minutes:

3:30 – 4:15, 4:20 – 5:05, or 5:10 – 5:55

The only way to register is to email Dr. Carol Donovan (cdonovan@ua.edu), who can give you information about availability, fees, and fit for your student.

If times are available that fit your schedule, you will be provided with a link to the registration site. Students currently enrolled in the program have the first option to continue each semester.
