The Professional Training Institute seeks to improve teaching effectiveness by providing unique training opportunities for education professionals. These research-based programs are designed to help teachers and specialists meet the needs of students who require alternative learning strategies.
We offer the following multisensory approaches and programs:
Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® Program
This four-day course prepares teachers to help students develop phonemic awareness for reading and spelling using the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing® (LiPS®) Program for reading, spelling, and speech methodology and materials.
Educational Evaluations
This course is designed for K-12 regular and special educators who want an overview of current instruments used for Tier 3 educational evaluations. Instruments to measure decoding, phonological awareness, oral and silent reading comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, written expression, and mathematics skills will be examined.
