The Scottish Rite Learning Center of West Texas offers language
retraining for students with dyslexia and graduate level training
for teachers of students with dyslexia.
Freemasonry,
or Masonry, as it is commonly known, is the oldest
and largest
fraternal organization in the world with members in every
free
nation. A division of the Masonic Fraternity, the Scottish Rite sponsors
the world's largest program for language disabled children through a
system
of learning centers located throughout the United States and
in foreign countries.
No
charges are made to students or their parents. The center is autonomous
and is funded through contributions from both Masons and non-Masons.
Presently, a nominal tuition fee is charged for teacher training,
but scholarships
are available. We encourage you to visit the
learning center and learn more
about it's functions.
LANGUAGE RETRAINING CLASSES
The
good news is that students with dyslexia are learning to read, write and
spell
in language retraining classes at the center. Students are
taught by experienced
therapists/teachers using a multisensory,
structured, sequential, phonetic-based
curriculum purposely designed
for students with dyslexia. Students attend classes
one hour daily,
five days a week during the school year and return to their home
classrooms for the remainder of the day. Students age six through adult
who
satisfy the entrance requirements are eligible to enroll in the
program which
lasts two to three years depending on the individuals
progress.
TEACHER TRAINING
More
good news is the fact the our teacher training program provides an
opportunity for classroom teachers to learn a curriculum and techniques
that
are recognized as effective for teaching basic language skills
to students with
dyslexia. Course content and techniques are based
on the original Orton-Gillingham
model with additions and
refinements developed in the Child Development Center
of the Texas
Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas. This program includes
academic instruction, supervised teaching, on-site observations and
demonstration
of teaching competency in the curriculum. Teachers
completing the comprehensive
program receive certificates as
Alphabetic Phonic Therapists.
